What should be done if urticarial vasculitis keeps recurring and does not improve?
For chronic or recurrent urticarial vasculitis, improvement can generally be achieved by avoiding allergens, paying attention to diet, and maintaining skin cleanliness. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Avoid Allergens
The onset of urticarial vasculitis is associated with allergic reactions, so it is important to avoid contact with allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and certain foods as much as possible. Ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.
2. Pay Attention to Diet
Urticarial vasculitis is a common skin disorder characterized by symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and papules. Patients should pay attention to their diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and alcohol. Instead, they should increase intake of antioxidant-rich foods containing vitamins C and E, such as vegetables and fruits.
3. Maintain Skin Cleanliness
Patients with urticarial vasculitis should keep their skin clean and avoid using irritating cosmetics and bathing products, such as soap and shower gels.
In addition, persistent or recurrent urticarial vasculitis may result from incomplete treatment or relapse. Therefore, it is essential to follow a regular treatment plan, take medications as prescribed, and consider other therapies such as phototherapy or traditional Chinese medicine treatments when recommended by a physician.
