Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Acute allergic urticaria is associated with exposure to pollen. As one of the common allergens, pollen disperses in the air as tiny particles, and contact with these particles may trigger allergic reactions in the human body, including acute allergic urticaria. This type of urticaria has an abrupt onset, with sudden itching of the skin followed by the appearance of erythematous wheals of varying sizes, often accompanied by severe pruritus and a burning sensation. Therefore, individuals allergic to pollen may experience acute allergic urticaria after exposure. It is recommended that such individuals avoid contact with pollen as much as possible during pollen season to reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions.
