Patient's question:
I have been experiencing recurrent feverish symptoms for a while. Originally weighing 200 pounds, I have now slimmed down to 100 pounds. Every time I take a nap in the evening, my joints are extremely painful and unbearable. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as cutaneous allergic vasculitis. I am seeking your help—what should I do?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the treatment of allergic vasculitis primarily includes anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant therapies. When necessary, low-dose dexamethasone may be administered. Allergic vasculitis is a common peripheral vascular disease, typically recurring in the lower limbs of the human body. The main clinical manifestations include erythema, rash, and nodules. In severe cases, it may involve the upper limbs and trunk of the patient, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue. It may also lead to systemic damage, with kidney damage being the most common.
