The story of my allergic reactions begins back in high school. It was very popular to have skin blisters then. One of the issues with that is obvious – urticaria can easily be terminal. Many people do not believe this, but hives can quickly turn chronic and you can start experiencing outbreaks for the rest of your life.
One of two things usually happen when people experience an outbreak like that. First, they may try to get rid of their hives naturally. That often doesn’t work, so they try to improve their skin condition with medications. This is an issue many people will face in their lives. My aunt for example often experienced these skin hives. They would even wake her up at night. She told me the quick story of what happened. After a period of time, the outbreaks started getting worse and worse. That led to the second problem – a doctor diagnosed her with an auto-immune disorder. You can imagine how she must have felt. Well, this was almost 10 years ago and now she is completely free of any hives or aquagenic urticaria.More info here.
Getting rid of hives the hard way.
The hard way is this – you go to a doctor in order to start using certain medications. That’s the first thing my aunt did and it proved to be fatal to her condition. The blisters often got worse and worse. But here is the interesting part – first, her condition seemed to improve and the hives seemed to disappear from the skin. Unfortunately, this was only temporary and she soon got them back. What caused that? It was a combination of the medications and her inability to think clearly. Thinking clearly when using medical creams is the most important thing in all of this. If you don’t you will often repeat past mistakes like this one.
Skin conditions like hives can easily put you in a hospital. Difficulty breathing is one of the most dangerous symptoms of allergic reactions. That’s why you must always look at that first. Do you have difficulty breathing during your hives outbreak? If so, that would indicate that there is fluid in your lungs that needs to be cleared. Anti allergy medications are a quick way of achieving just that. Sometimes they are vital. Of course, here we are talking about severe allergic reactions, not minor hives that anyone can experience from time to time. Idiopathic urticaria has many forms, but the most important one of them is this – red skin bumps, that form underneath the skin and on the top layer of the derma. This is a clear sign that your hives need further treatment.
Do you need treatments?
Sometimes, urticaria and hives can be gotten rid of without any treatments. See this: How to Treat Hives
They will rarely last more than a few hours and can be caused by bug bites or simple allergies, which you may not have noticed before. Regardless, that may not be the case. It may only seem like that, but in reality the skin hives may have deeper links to your immune system.
