Why do snots appear on the skin? Here we present to you some surprising factors that you might discover.
Urticaria is a common and worrying skin reaction that is characterized by the appearance of papules or rashes on the skin. These lesions, which can vary in size from small to large lesions, are raised, red or skin-colored, and usually cause intense inflammation. Although it may be alarming, urticaria is, in most cases, a benign and transitory condition.
Urticaria is produced when certain body cells, called mast cells, release histamine and other chemical media into the bloodstream. This release causes the escape of liquid from the small blood vessels of the skin (capillaries), which leads to the formation of the characteristics of elevated and thinned ronchas.
The main symptoms of urticaria are the following:
Urticaria: raised and well-defined lesions, sometimes pale in the center and red on the edges.
Itching: an area that can vary from mild to very intense.
Vanishing nature: one of the most distinctive characteristics is that the papules usually disappear in less than 24 hours without leaving the heart, although new papules may appear in other areas of the body.
In some cases, urticaria can be accompanied by angioedema, a rash of the deep scalps of the skin. Angioedema usually affects the lips, lips, hands, feet or genitals and can cause tightness or pain. If angioedema affects the throat or tongue, it can make it difficult to breathe and constitute a medical emergency.Types of urticaria
