What medicine should I take for wind pimples

Wind bumps are just a popular term, while wind bumps are medically called urticaria. The reason why urticaria is also called wind bumps is that when a patient suffers from urticaria, these bumps may gradually spread to other parts of the body due to the wind, so in people's eyes, this is also a kind of wind bumps. When a person has wind pimples on his skin, what medicine can he take to treat it?

Urticaria (commonly known as wind bumps) is a common disease in spring. The incidence rate is very high. Someone has done statistics and found that about 1/5 of the world's population has suffered from urticaria. No wonder some people call it "the number one dermatological disease."

The rash of urticaria is called wheals (wind bumps), which are temporary edematous macules of varying sizes and shapes, raised on the skin surface, accompanied by severe itching. Patients often scratch themselves constantly, which affects their work and study during the day and their sleep at night. Wheals usually last for several hours to more than ten hours and then disappear on their own; more severe cases may be accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea or chest tightness, and asthma attacks.

Most urticaria can be cured in about 1-3 weeks. If it does not heal after several months, it is called chronic urticaria. Some people may develop cord-like wheals on the skin after scratching or bumping, which is called dermatographism; some people may develop the disease when exposed to cold wind or cold water, which is called cold urticaria.

Like other diseases, after suffering from urticaria, the first thing to do is to find the cause. Generally speaking, the cause of acute urticaria is an acute allergic reaction of the body to exogenous allergens (allergens), so the cause is easier to find. Common causes include: ingestion of foreign proteins such as fish, shrimp, and meat; eating plant foods such as peaches, cashews, etc.; inhalation of allergens such as spring pollen, mold spores, and dust; use of certain allergic drugs such as penicillin, sulfonamides, etc.; acute infection lesions in the body, etc. Once the cause is found, targeted treatment can be provided to fundamentally control urticaria. The cause of chronic urticaria is more complex and difficult to find. Patients often have certain family genetic factors (allergic constitution) and chronic lesions.

During diagnosis and treatment, appropriate drugs or drug combinations can be selected based on the patient's condition, such as attack frequency, attack duration, and associated symptoms. Patients with chronic urticaria can also find the most suitable medicines and prevention methods through exploration and experience, such as eating less high-calorie, high-protein foods, cleaning the room, staying away from allergens such as pollen, and preventing allergies.
