Patient's question:
Red rash appeared on the ankle, so painful that I couldn't walk. The doctor diagnosed it as "allergic purpura".Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is a capillary vasculitis, an allergic reaction disease. The causes include infections, food allergies, drug allergies, pollen, insect bites, and other allergies. However, the specific allergen is often difficult to determine. For allergic purpura, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is commonly used. This approach promotes blood circulation, improves local tissue blood flow, and fundamentally regulates the body's functions to achieve the goal of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. It is also important to identify the underlying allergen and avoid or address these allergens to prevent recurrence.
