Chronic spontaneous Urticaria is also known as chronic idiopathic (or idiopathic) Urticaria. It’s a chronic hive that comes and goes unexpectedly. The hives are present every day for at least six weeks without any clear trigger or cause. Women are twice as likely to experience this condition as men, and the most common age range is between 20 and 40.
This blog will provide a brief overview of chronic spontaneous urticaria. We’ll also discuss the symptoms and possible treatments.
What is chronic idiopathic Urticaria?
Idiopathic chronic Urticaria is a condition in which hives (urticarias) persist for more than six weeks, and there is no known cause. The condition is frustrating, both for the individual with the condition and the medical team. It can take many trials and errors to find a solution.
Chronic spontaneous urticaria symptoms
Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria Symptoms are similar to shorter cases of hives but more frequent for over six weeks. The affected individuals develop itchy, raised bumps, which may be red, purple, or skin-colored. When pressure is applied to a hive that has a red color, the center will blanch (turn white). It can have a significant impact on sleep and school performance.
How to treat chronic idiopathic Urticaria
An allergist will usually work with the individual to plan treatment of chronic spontaneous Urticaria. Antihistamines are generally the first treatment, whether they’re applied topically or orally. In the event that these antihistamines are not effective, doctors may prescribe stronger antihistamines to be taken daily in order to prevent hives from developing. These treatments may not be effective and can take a long time to try.
