Patient's question:
In recent years, my girlfriend often had itchy skin, sometimes to the point where it was unbearable. After getting to know him, our relationship was very good, but when we shared a bed, he refused sex. Later, we discovered he had hives, which were never cured after treatment.Doctor's answer:
Measles is very stubborn to treat, but prevention is simple. Wearing a mask while traveling can solve a lot of problems. Urticaria is a temporary allergic skin condition accompanied by severe itching. During travel, inhaling pollen, animal dander, feathers, dust, etc., can easily trigger urticaria. For travelers, the best way to prevent urticaria is to wear a mask while traveling. In autumn, the weather is cool, and wearing a mask won’t feel too uncomfortable, but it can filter out harmful dust particles in the air, significantly reducing the incidence of urticaria. Especially when visiting the countryside or outdoor areas with a lot of pollen and feathers, extra attention should be paid. Autumn is the season for seafood, and eating fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish can also cause urticaria. If a person is allergic to fish, spicy food, or cold wind, they should avoid contact with these substances. As long as this can be achieved, the recurrence of urticaria can be controlled. For people with a sensitive allergic constitution, food fragrances are also one of the risk factors. Unfamiliar food fragrances are best avoided.
