What is Autoimmune Hives or Auto Immune Hives?

For a better understanding of autoimmune hives you need to understand about autoimmune and hives separately.

Auto immune hives is a skin problem found in patients that develop hives due to an autoimmune trigger, i.e. different antibodies.

Hives (name is urticaria) is a skin disorder and appears as white or red, erupted portions in skin and which are usually itchy in nature. The eruptions can be of various sizes and shapes.

An immune system is a defense system, in the living organisms, of biological structures and processes.  It protects against different disease by identifying and killing the path. Sometimes this immune system can freak out and start damaging the body it is supposed to protect. This process is called autoimmune. Read here for more on autoimmune hives.

For a better understanding of autoimmune hives, I will describe the terms separately in the next section. Here is a simple and basic definition of this bizarre skin problem. Auto immune hives is a skin problem found in patients that develop hives due to an autoimmune trigger, i.e. different antibodies. Mast cells are widespread in the skin and contain certain fluids. When they are disturbed by an autoimmune trigger, they release a fluid called histamine into the skin, which causes hives.

Swelling, redness, and itching caused by autoimmune disorders is called autoimmune hives. These autoimmune disorders are characterized as the malfunction of the immune system, which causes it to attack itself. Such patients develop auto-antibodies directed at the receptor FceRI located on skin mast cells. Its treatment is similar to the allergic hives treatment.

Autoimmune hives can be characterized by many different symptoms, including raised blanched wheals, anaphylactic reaction, pruritis, angioedema, and rapid onset.

Hives and Autoimmune

Here is a simple definition of the two terms: hives and autoimmune.

Hives (urticaria) is a skin disorder and appears as white or red erupted portions of skin that are usually itchy in nature. The eruptions can be of various sizes and shapes.

Immune is a defense system in living organisms of biological structures and processes that protects against different disease by identifying and killing the path. Sometimes this immune system can go awry and start damaging the body it is supposed to protect. This process is called autoimmune. Autoimmunity is the failure of an organism to recognize its own constituent parts as self, which allows an immune response against its own cells and tissues.

Now you understand both the terms, so if you develop hives due to autoimmune disorders, it is called autoimmune hives.

Is there a link between Alcohol and Hives?

Though it might sound outlandish, alcohol and hives are linked. Actually, drinking alcohol, which has ethanol as a major factor, can trigger hives itchy rash in  patients suffering from hives.

These patients should specifically consult a qualified doctor and seek advice on whether they should ingest alcohol or not.

Alcohol can disturb your mast cells which then release a fluid called histamine inside your skin. The release of this fluid causes rash and itchiness. One of the most commonly used treatments is the intake of antihistamine.

Alcohol and Hives; many people do not realize that these two are connected. Though it might sound outlandish, alcohol and hives are linked. Actually, drinking alcohol, which contains ethanol, can trigger hives itchy rash in patients suffering from hives. These patients should consult a qualified doctor and seek advice as to whether they should ingest alcohol, and if it will affect their skin problems.

One of the most commonly opted for treatments is the intake of antihistamine. As its name suggests, antihistamine nullifies the effect of histamine, which is released by the mast cells as a result of stress or allergic process. Unfortunately, antihistamine medication does not control the actual underlying causes of histamine release. Therefore, you feel better only when you take antihistamine for the time being, and the condition may reappear.

Hives Alcohol

The anaphylactic reactions to drinking alcohol are not very common. Moreover, most reactions to ingested alcoholic beverages are less important to other chemicals in the beverage, such as papain, metabisulfite, or even yeast. However, in a few cases, there are reports of true allergic reactions in which the stimulating agent was shown to be the ethanol (present in the alcohol), resulting in hives.

Mostly, the indications of anaphylaxis appear in such patients following the ingestion of beer or wine. Many  people have had the problem of hives rashes with ethanol ingestion. However, there are only a few known cases in which hives was triggered due to contact with ethanol.

Hives after Drinking Alcohol

Patients that are already suffering from hives must be careful with their drinking habits because hives can be triggered after drinking alcohol. It is wise to consult a doctor and get his advice regarding how often and how much liquor you can safely ingest.

How To Stay Safe From Hives – Some Simple Tips?

Hives be easy to get, but they can put up a great fight when you try to cure them. Though there are certain types e.g. acute hives, which usually vanish within a few hours after their outbreak, some other types e.g. chronic hives, can stay for much longer. The patient usually become disappointed after trying antihistamines or other expensive products. But if you follow these simple tips, you will minimize the chances of getting hives.

If you have a family history regarding hives, do not wait for the hives symptoms to appear, rather consult a qualified doctor for a early diagnosis.  Whether you are likely to get hives or not start a proper hives treatment. Some people are allergic to certain items or foods, if you are one of them, avoid these allergens. If you have an over reactive immune system, you need to be extra careful as you have more chance of becoming prey to hives. Furthermore, you should avoid the extreme temperatures.

But what if you already have developed hives, and the itching has crossed all the limits of tolerance? Read my post next week and find out the best,simple solution.

All about Acute Hives and Cholinergic Hives?

This blog will tell you about two types of hives; one is a little soft i.e. acute hives and the other can be very brutal i.e. cholinergic hives.

Acute hives is defined as the presence of wheals which usually resolve within a few hours after their outbreak. Cholinergic hives is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat.

For any individual any of these two types of hives can be a great nuisance due to its appearance and itchy nature. You may try certain home remedies or consult a doctor if the situation is out of control.

If you want to learn more about acute hives and cholinergic hives, read here and jump to my groundbreaking comprehensive article.

Acute hives is defined as the presence of momentary wheals, which mostly resolve within a few hours after appearing. Cholinergic hives is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. It is actually a subcategory of physical urticaria. Hives rash caused by both acute and cholinergic hives are very itchy and painful.

Cholinergic hives symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat, such as running or exercise, heat from the direct sunlight, and high temperature saunas, as well as spicy foods, which may cause an increase in body temperature, very hot showers, or sometimes extreme stress due to blushing or anger. In some cases, individuals only have symptoms during the winter season where their body temperature rises when it is un-acclimatized to heat.

Acute hives usually occur in response to certain allergies and it is believed that 15-20% of the population suffers from acute urticaria at some point in their lives. A few minutes after the person has been exposed to the allergen, acute urticaria becomes apparent. It may last several weeks in some cases, but mostly it vanishes within a few hours. Normally, the hives is a reaction to food, but in 50% of the cases, the trigger is unknown and is called idiopathic hives. Besides foods, bee or wasp stings, or skin contact with certain fragrances can also be the triggers.

Acute hives mostly affect infants and children. Causes of acute hives in children include Idiopathic (unknown) causes, allergen infections, foods, and drugs. Nearly half of the children with acute urticaria have evidence of functional auto-antibodies.

If a child is suffering from acute hives, the causes should be avoided as much as possible. H1 antihistamines, i.e. classical and second generation can be used. In some cases, H2 antihistamines can also be given. Oral corticosteroids have also been found useful. Epinephrine should be given for anaphylaxis only; however, if the urticaria is hereditary, epinephrine may not be as useful.

About the Pathophysiology of Dermographism?

Before talking about the pathophysiology of dermographism, let me tell you that pathophysiology is the study of biochemical and chemical changes in humans due to disease. One might think if I have to learn about it, what are the doctors for? Essentially, by learning the pathophysiology of any disease, you can improve your ability of recognising and treating it i.e. dermographism treatment.

Dermographism being a subtype of urticaria, its actual mechanism remains uncertain. Certain triggers e.g. allergies, physical triggers or extreme temperature may release an antigen that interrelates with the membrane-s immunoglobulin E of the mast cells. These mast cells then release inflammatory mediators, particularly histamine, and sometimes leukotrienes, heparin, bradykinin, kallikrein, and other similar vasoactive fluids, into the tissues which then accumulate in the skin causing rashes or dermographism.

What are the Differences and Similarities Between Dermographism and Angioedema?

If you are confused between the two similar but different diseases; dermographism and hives, this post will clear up the confusion. By understanding the differences between these two, you will be better equipped when choosing dermographism treatment or angioedema treatment.

Let us first get to know the similarities between the two diseases : dermographism and angioedema are both skin problems with similar triggers e.g. extreme temperatures, allergies, pressure, stress, and have they both have similar treatments.

Sometimes, they accompany each other but usually they outbreak seperately.

The major differences between these two are: dermographism is a subtype of hives(urticaria), whereas angioedema is a different disease. Dermographism is itchy, while angioedema is characterized by painless swelling. Angioedema can be deadly but dermographism is only painful. Angioedema is mostly a hereditary problem while dermographism is usually acquired.

The best Dermographism Cure & Dermographism Treatment?

If you are suffering from dermographism, most of the people would tell you that treating dermographism or any other similar type of urticaria is not possible.

All you can do is take histamines and relieve the pain and itching for the time being. However, there are other dermographism cure & dermographism treatment.

For most of the people it can be an embarassing and disappointing situation but if you read my detailed guide, you can take some simple steps mentioned in my article about dermographism cure & dermographism treatment. Read here to read and try them while sitting at home and without spending extra money!

If you are suffering from dermographism, this article is indeed a blessing for you as it explains the best dermographism cure & dermographism treatment. Don’t worry, as I will not ask you to buy expensive medical products; instead, you can take all the steps mentioned here easily, while sitting at home and without spending extra money!

Dermographism literally means writing on the skin. It is a common type of urticaria; a skin problem in which the skin becomes raised and inflamed when stroked, scratched, rubbed, and sometimes, even slapped.

The biggest hurdle in dermographism cure is that the underlying causes of dermatographism are not clearly known. It is thought to be caused due to the release of histamines by the mast cells. When histamines are released, the weaker membranes surrounding the mast cells may be damaged and, as a result, cause swelling. It is not a lethal disease and is not contagious or infectious. However, in some extreme cases, it can affect the patient’s life severely.

• It is important to determine the causes and  triggers of dermatographism and avoid them as much as possible.
• Some drugs, such as penicillin, insect bites, or infections can also cause dermatographism. Individuals prone to this allergy should stay away from these triggers.
• The most common drug used in curing dermatographism is antihistamines. They can be used to treat the patient as they prevent outbreaks by countering the histamine effect.
• H1 or H2 antagonists and cortisone are also useful treatments.
• Cromoglycate is also used to stop histamine release, but it is not very useful when dealing with chronic urticaria.
• Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture treatments are also practiced by some patients.
• Certain soaps that are biodegradable or hypoallergenic can be used to reduce itching by keeping the affected area clean.
• You should consult a doctor in case the symptoms persist or if the condition worsens.

Steps To Follow When Dermographism Itching Becomes Intolerable?

The patients of dermographism know how itchy the rashes are. But from time to time the itching can boost to its highest and create an unbearable situation for the sufferer. Following steps can be useful in countering the itch and aid dermographism treatment.

Try to keep the affected area of the skin naked, not even your clothes should be tight on it. When dermographism itching is at its topmost, you will be amazed at the outcome of simply exposing the affected area to fresh air which reduces the itching significantly. Similarly, cooling down the affected are with ice pack, cool compression or simply a cloth dipped in cold water can reduce itching. If itching is still unbearable, you may try non-anesthetizing antihistamines or consult a specialist.

Next week, angioedema and its most common types would be posted and the best thing is that I will be explaining some simple yet greatly rewarding home remedies.

What is the Best Medicine for Curing Dermographism?

Dermographism is actually a subtype of urticaria (hives) which is known by many other names: dermatographism, skin writing and dermographic urticaria. People suffering from dermographism are otherwise healthy unless their disease has some association with pruritus, which can severely affect the life-style of the patient.

Being a type of urticaria, antihistamines are the best drug when it comes to treatment. Following are the most commonly drugs used to treat dermographism: Palgic, Pediatex and Cordron NR but they should not be considered the alternate for the professional’s prescription.

Chinese acupuncture has been also considered to be successful option for dermographism treatment. In this modern age, herbal medicines are still considered to be the good because they do not have a lot of side effects.

These are the treatments for dermographism but some drugs can be troublesome and you must avoid them. I will be talking about that in the next post, due in two days.

Talking about Dermatographism & Dermatographic?

You might be surprised to know how many different types of urticaria there are!

Dermatographism is another subtype of urticaria, also known as dermographism, dermatographic or dermatographic hives. For the patients and even those who have not been a victim to this skin problem, knowing its causes, symptoms and cures is good when battling it or trying to avoid it.

The obvious and common symptoms of this unwanted skin problem are eruptions and inflammations on the skin, when an external offending stimulus comes in contact with the skin. It usually looks as if someone has held the skin and written something on it. This is the reason why it is also called skin writing. Do you want to learn more about Dermatographism & Dermatographic?

Dermatographism is a subtype of urticaria. It is also known as dermographism, dermatographic, or dermatographic hives. Urticaria is the official, medical term used for hives. The rest of the article describes dermatographism, its causes, symptoms, and cures in detail.

Dermatographism or dermatographic urticaria is characterized by eruptions and inflammations on the skin when an external offending stimulus comes in contact with the skin. This makes the skin look as if someone has written on it, which is why it is also called skin writing.

Human skin contains certain cells, which are called mast cells to protect it against pathogens. The membranes surrounding these cells are weak for some people. In such cases, when the skin is rubbed or scratched, it will release a substance called histamine, which results in the damage of these membranes that causes rashes and swelling of the skin.

The actual cause for dermatographism is unidentified. The most commonly believed causes include stress and exposure to extreme heat or cold. Several things that can trigger its occurrence include kissing, tight clothing, watches, rings, glasses, and anything that causes pressure or stress to the skin. Even when the skin gets slapped, scratched, or rubbed, eruptions may occur.

It is not a contagious disease and it does not spread from one person to another. In most cases, the eruptions will disappear within some time after the outbreak; therefore, many people do not need treatment for this. However, some patients may experience this condition for their entire lives. Though in most cases, it is not life threatening, there are some cases that may be severe enough to become life threatening. Therefore,  proper treatment is necessary.

Antihistamines can be used to treat patients, which prevent the eruptions from appearing. Acupuncture treatments are also available to treat this condition.  Biodegradable and hypoallergenic soaps are used by many patients to help prevent outbreaks. In addition, patients are advised to avoid bathing in hot water.

Dermatographism Emedicine

Emedicine is one of the largest online clinical knowledgebases. It is searchable by different keywords, such as dermatographic, and dermatographism, etc.

Four of the Most Important Points To Consider When Managing Dermographism?

Today’s post has some very simple yet extremely valuable tips for managing dermographism. These points are only to aid your proper dermographic urticaria treatment, not a complete treatment themselves.

1:  Understand the actual causes and triggers of dermographism and avoid them as much as you can.
2: Stay away from all the offending stimuli, allergens or foods that can cause allergies including eggs, nuts, wheat, dairy products etc. For people prone to food allergies, a food elimination technique can be helpful i.e. avoiding one type of food at one time and noting the results and then repeating with other types.
3: The itchiness can cause a need to scratch the affected area, but never rub or unnecessarily touch the rashes, this can cause the rashes to blister and increase itching.
4: Last but not the least, do not use other drugs during the treatment and do not forget to take the prescribed medicine on time.

Dermatographic Urticaria

Dermatographic urticaria or dermographism is characterized by eruptions and inflammations on the skin when an external offending stimulus comes in contact with the skin. Human skin contains certain cells called mast cells, which protect it against pathogens. The membranes surrounding these cells are weak for some people. In such cases, when the skin is rubbed or scratched, it will release a substance called histamine, which results in the damage of these membranes that causes rashes and swelling of the skin.

In most cases, the actual cause for dermatographic urticaria is unidentified. However, the most commonly believed causes include stress and exposure to extreme heat or cold. Several things that can trigger its occurrence include kissing, tight clothing, watches, jewelry, glasses, and anything that causes pressure or stress to the skin. Even when the skin gets slapped, scratched, or rubbed, eruptions may occur.

Dermatographic urticaria is not a contagious disease and it does not spread from one person to another. In most cases, the eruptions will disappear within a short time after the outbreak; therefore, many people do not need treatment for this. However, some patients may experience it for the duration of their lives. Though in most cases, it is not life threatening, there are some cases that may be severe enough to become life threatening. Therefore,  proper treatment is necessary.

Understanding Vibratory Angioedema and Learning How to Treat Angioedema?

Lets talk about Vibratory angioedema.  Well for those who have suffered from this unusual and uncommon skin problem life can be very difficult . All these people want to know is how to treat angioedema.

Characterized by wheals, raised rashes and blanched skin, vibratory angioedema is an uncommon form of physical urticaria (hives). Continuous vibration can causes such rashes to appear on the skin. These vibrations can be from using a jack hammer or even jogging.  This problem can be hereditary as well as acquired.

If you want to learn more about vibratory angioedema or how to treat angioedema, read here for a detailed editorial.

It might sound strange but it is a fact that vibratory angioedema has nothing to do with angioedema itself, rather it is a form of physical urticaria (or physical hives). How to treat angioedema is the first question that comes into mind of the person experiencing this bizarre skin problem. You will find the answer to this question at the end of this guide in form of simple guidelines for angioedema treatment.

Vibratory angioedema can be an inherited problem or it can be acquired in response to a prolonged exposure to vibration. It is an extremely rare condition in which the skin produces a hypersensitivity reaction to an extended exposure of unremitting vibration. The most obvious symptoms are central wheals, blanched skin, pruritus or raised rashes.

A person prone to vibratory angioedema may develop it from the factors that are normally harmless. These factors cause continuous vibration on the skin e.g. driving a motor bike continuously for a long time, operating such a mechanical instrument e.g. a lawnmower, or vigorously rubbing your skin with rough stimuli e.g. a towel.

The symptoms usually take five to ten minutes to appear after coming in contact with the offending stimuli. The wheals can be itchy in nature and usually fade away within thirty minutes to one hour after their outbreak and no typical treatment is required. To stay safe, the individuals prone to vibratory angioedema should avoid such stimuli.

These simple guidelines are the answer to the question given at the start of this guide i.e. how to treat angioedema.

• Consult a qualified doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
• Urine and blood test should be conducted to find whether you are infected with angioedema or not.
• Avoid the allergens and triggering factors.
• Epinephrine is a life saving drug especially in case of acquired angioedema.
• Certain therapies of antihistamines are typically used to counter the effect of histamines, especially in cases where autoimmune reaction is the cause of angioedema.

The Most common Forms of Angioedema and Their Home Remedies?

Angioedema is not only extremely painful but it can also be life threatening. Angioedema has some very rare forms e.g. uvula angioedema while there are some common subtypes e.g. facial angioedema. Let us see what home remedies can be helpful when you are battling this deadly disease.

Inthe more common forms of angioedema the swelling usually appears on eyes and lips. This can be a disabling disease. If the swelling is progressing rapidly, try to cool down the place and the patient should stay inside the house.

Taking green tea or mint tea can help reduce the difficulty in breathing by clearing the throat. If the swelling progresses rapidly, especially in the upper airway. make sure the patient is given prompt medical treatment.

The post next week will describe the top four tips when you are trying to manage angioedema.

Learning about Uvula angioedema?

The mouth is no doubt one of the most sensitive  parts of the human body. Any problem created inside your mouth can stop you from speaking or eating. But uvula angioedema takes this problem to next level because it may even stop you from breathing!

With Uvula angioedema, the swelling occurs on your uvula (petite piece of fleshy tissue hanging down from the back portion of the soft palate in the humans’ mouth),  the last place one would like to swell.

——

Angioedema is an annoying, sometimes painful, ugly looking and life-threatening disease. However, uvula angioedema can be the most frightening form. As you know angioedema is the swelling of your eyes, lips hands, feet etc. But in uvula angioedema, the swelling occurs on your uvula, surely the last place one would like to get swelled up.

Angioedema or Quincke edema is the rapid swelling of the human skin resulted by the swelling of dermis, sub-mucosal tissues and mucosa. Usually the swelling lasts a few hours and does not threaten the life of the patient. But in uvula angioedema you need prompt and high-quality medical treatment as it can cause blockage in the airway which can be fatal.

The uvula is the petite piece of fleshy tissues hanging down from the back portion of the soft palate in the humans’ mouth.  It is evident from its appearance that it is very fragile and soft. It is composed of certain glands and muscular fibers. The key function of uvula is articulation of different sounds of speech. If you develop uvula angioedema, it is not your speech or sound that is affected but your life is at stake!

Uvula angioedema is an infrequent subtype of angioedema but it can be fatal. It requires without delay treatment and ongoing cautious monitoring of symptoms as the swelling may block the airway.

Usually, uvula angioedema is acute or hereditary. It can be caused by several diverse factors including inhalation exposure, hereditary angioedema, trauma, in reaction to certain drugs and some contagious causes. The type I hypersensitivity reaction is the typical cause of isolated uvular angioedema.

Description

This article discusses  the most common types, causes, signs, symptoms, prevention and the treatment methods of Angioedema.

Angioedema is a allergic reaction that causes swelling on the skin surface. They occurs mostly on the eyes and lips. The body produces something called histamine in result to this reaction and blood vessels begun to swell. It is a deeper swelling and more or less like hives, where you have more itchiness.

There are two types of Angioedema. They are:

Acquired angioedema (AAE)

Hereditary angioedema (HAE)

Causes of Angioedema

The causes are unknown sometimes. But with certain causes, we can suspect that it may be because of these causes:

• Insect Stings or Pollen
• Allergies of food like dairy, shellfish, nuts etc,
• Allergies of  medications such as NSAIDS (non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), aspirin, blood pressure medicines, ibuprofen, and other antibiotics
• Hair Dyes
• Diseases like Hodgkins, leukemia, lupus, etc.

Angioedema Symptoms and Signs

• Itchy, Burning, Swollen and Painful feelings

• Appearance of red welts near lips and eyes and sometimes near throat

• Rashes on the hands

• Discolored patches    

• Swollen throat

• Hoarseness

• Breathing trouble

• Fever

• Muscle pain

• Decreased urine, etc.

Treatment Options for Angioedema

Have a allergy test with the professional if you found any of the causes mentioned above.  You should also have to have urine test and blood test in order to find, if you are infected with Angioedema.  If the results show that you have mild angioedema, then it can be cured with certain therapies or antihistamines. If it is major, then you have to make sure that, you can breathe easily. Sit in an open air and try to breathe properly. Have the medicines at the correct time that are prescribed by the professional s properly.  The most important thing is, you should not take any other drugs when you are infected with angioedema.
