urticaria symptoms
Acute urticaria manifests as sudden severe itching of the skin, quickly followed by hives of various sizes. In severe cases, symptoms can include palpitations, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, and other signs of anaphylactic shock. Chronic urticaria is characterized by recurrent outbreaks of hives, often lasting for several months or years.
Can people with AIDS get pregnant?
People with AIDS can become pregnant, as so far, no country's laws prohibit pregnancy in people with AIDS. However, there is a 25-30% chance of transmitting HIV to the baby if a person with AIDS becomes pregnant. Even with comprehensive intervention from medical staff, it is not 100% guaranteed that the baby will be healthy; there is still at least a 2% risk of the baby being infected. Therefore, we usually recommend that the patient terminate the pregnancy.
Can I eat grapes if I have itchy skin?
Eating grapes is generally acceptable for skin itchiness. Grapes have a neutral nature and a sweet-sour taste. They are rich in glucose and fruit acids, and contain potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and other trace elements as well as an abundance of vitamins. Traditional Chinese Medicine states that grapes have effects such as replenishing qi and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, generating seminal fluid, enhancing spleen and appetite, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Clinically, there are very few cases of grape consumption causing allergic skin itchiness.
Can people with neurodermatitis eat fish?
Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory dermatosis characterized by episodic severe itching and lichenoid changes in the skin. The cause of this condition may be related to various internal and external factors including neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, local skin irritation, and diet. Therefore, we generally advise patients with neurodermatitis to minimize alcohol consumption, avoid spicy and hot foods, and restrict intake of fish, shrimp, crab, and other seafood that may exacerbate the condition.

Can you eat eggs if you have a skin allergy?
Eating eggs in case of skin allergies depends on the situation. If you have never been allergic to eggs and have been consuming them, then you can still eat eggs even if you have a skin allergy. Eggs are considered neutrally balanced and sweet, containing almost all the nutrients required by the human body, thus they are often referred to as ideal nutrient stores. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eggs have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, as well as nourishing blood and stabilizing pregnancy. Clinically, egg allergies are more commonly seen in infants and toddlers. Therefore, if you have never eaten eggs before, or if you have been diagnosed with an egg allergy through an allergen test, you should not eat eggs when you have a skin allergy.
Does AIDS cause itching?
People with AIDS experience itching because pruritus is one of the most common symptoms in AIDS patients. It can occur relatively early in the disease. This type of itching occurs without primary skin rashes and is so severe that it is unbearable. In severe cases, there may be a tendency towards suicide. Therefore, in treatment, we use antihistamines with sedative effects. Oral administration is combined with the external application of moisturizing and anti-itch medications. When necessary, ultraviolet light exposure can be used, or it can be combined with other methods.
Can people with vitiligo eat peaches?
People with vitiligo can eat peaches. Peaches are rich in vitamins and also contain a substantial amount of iron. In traditional Chinese medicine, peaches are said to nourish yin, generate fluids, moisturize the intestines, and facilitate bowel movements. They are considered a good fruit symbolizing fortune, prosperity, and longevity. Although long-term excessive intake of vitamin C is one of the triggers for vitiligo, vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant. It helps the body eliminate free radicals, which, when in excess, can damage our body's melanocytes. Therefore, appropriately consuming fruits that contain vitamin C, such as peaches, does not affect vitiligo.
What is the body lacking in neurodermatitis?
Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid skin changes due to nervous dysfunction. The causes of the disease may be related to neuropsychiatric factors such as irritability, overthinking, tension, depression, fatigue, and poor sleep. It is also associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction and endocrine disorders. Additionally, local skin irritations such as friction from stiff collars, exposure to chemicals, infection sites, soaking in sweat, and sun exposure are related, as well as diet, including alcohol consumption, and the avoidance of spicy or stimulating foods like chili peppers, and allergenic foods such as crabs and other seafood. These factors can all contribute to the development of neurodermatitis, which is not related to any deficiency in the body.
Do you need to take medicine for skin allergies?
Whether or not you need to take medication for skin allergies depends on the amount and area of your allergies. If the allergic area is small and limited, we can generally use topical medications and avoid oral medications. However, if the allergic area is extensive and covers a large area, we usually recommend timely oral medications and, if necessary or in severe cases, intravenous administration.
