Introduction
Exercise-induced sweating generally cannot treat urticaria. Since sweating may irritate the skin, treatment for urticaria should be determined according to specific circumstances and conducted under a doctor's guidance. If urticaria symptoms are severe or persist for a prolonged period, prompt medical attention is recommended. A doctor should perform a thorough examination and diagnosis, and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Generally, urticaria cannot be treated by exercising and sweating.
Urticaria is a skin condition typically characterized by red, swollen, and itchy patches or hives on the skin. The onset of urticaria may be related to various factors such as food, medications, environmental triggers, or infections. Exercising and sweating may worsen symptoms of urticaria, as sweat can irritate the skin and intensify itching and swelling. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or to perform physical activity in a cool environment. After exercising, promptly wash the skin to prevent sweat from remaining on its surface. If symptoms do not improve, antihistamines such as diphenhydramine tablets or chlorpheniramine tablets may be taken under medical supervision. If urticaria is triggered by allergens, avoiding exposure to those allergens is advised.
Therefore, treatment for urticaria should be tailored according to individual circumstances and conducted under a doctor's guidance. If symptoms are severe or persist for an extended period, prompt medical consultation is recommended for thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and an appropriate treatment plan.
