Recently Ive broken out in sporadic hives on various parts of my body *backs of knees and lower legs, inside of elbows and arms and the sides of my abdomen*. The only recent changes that can be noted is that I recently drank a lot of Goldschlager *alcohol with a small amount of gold flakes in it*. Could a previously unknown Gold allergy cause me to break out in hives?

its been three days now and my baby (14mnths) has had some allergy reaction to something (no clue what haven’t changed his routine at all) it comes up randomly during the day then goes away then comes back ALL over his body at night… The doc said it was just an allergy reaction to something he ate but the prescription medicine the doc gave us (two days ago) hasn’t really done anything… any ideas people? baby just gets fidgety and has a fever on the occasion… (as well as the hives… or whatever it is)
he wears only a singlet and a nappie.. when we go out I put a t-shirt on him but thats it…

I stopped breast feeding about 2-3 months ago and he doesn’t take formula just water…

My mom’s daycare kids and her sister’s daycare kids have this strange rash on their skin, but not the adults. It looks similar to an allergy hive, but the hives have puss in them and have spread to a few on their legs, faces, arms and stomach. Some think it could be poison ivy, but my mom isn’t sure, because the baby who has this rash just had poison ivy and it went away. Any help would be great.

The fire within
SOME 2,000 years ago, Roman physician Aulus C. Celsus identified redness, pain, heat and swelling as the cardinal signs of inflammation. This condition can be a reaction to infection, injury, chemical exposure, allergy, or over- stretching of muscle or artery tissues.

What is a skin allergy? A skin allergy is a reaction caused by a substance that comes in contact with the skin, thus a skin allergy. Some types of contact skin allergies are dermatitis, eczema and hives. Contact dermatitis develops when the skin comes in contact with something that a person is allergic to. A reaction to skin allergies may cause a redness or even swelling, stinging, burning or blisters and yes, itching.

Skin Allergies are one of the most prevalent causes of skin conditions. Generally, they are caused by an immune system which becomes hypersensitive after exposure to certain substances which it recognizes as harmful. As a result of this exposure, the body’s immune system releases huge amounts of antibodies to combat these “supposedly” harmful substances. The release of these immune cells may then cause an adverse reaction in other cells within the body.

The major symptom of skin allergy are hives, rashes, swelling, itching which may includes one or more physical signs like dry skin and it results in cracking of the skin. The hands, face, arms and neck are the common areas affected by skin allergies as are exposed usually every day.

Hives are red bumps or welts that form on the top layer of skin. Usually they will appear in a small area first, but they can then spread. You will find that the hives can appear on the face, arms, neck, or all over the body. The nature of hives is to be itchy. This means that food allergies cause itching skin in humans. Often the skin may appear itchy before the actual hives or reddened patches of skin will appear.

Common symptoms of allergies include redness and itchiness of the eyes, wheezing or other breathing problems, skin rashes or hives. Some people with severe allergies might even experience anaphylaxis or death in extreme exposure situations. There are many common allergies from which many people suffer. Animal dander (particularly from cats), pollen, dust mites and certain medications can all be causes of allergies. Some individuals are also allergic to certain foods or even whole food groups.

Something to keep in mind with the skin reaction as a result of food allergies is that irritating the area or becoming stressed over the issue can cause the skin reaction to be more pronounced. In other words if you become stressed you can actually psychologically induce hives. It is a reaction of too much chemical in your body as a result of stress. This means that for those with a food allergy they can cause the hives to become worse than they would normally be.

Eczema the most common skin problem is triggered by allergies. Similarly hives are caused by allergies. It is important to learn about allergies so that we can care for our skin. Most of us have different ideas about allergy. Some of us do not believe in allergy while some of us think that they suffer from allergy with every substance. Most of us are allergic to something. Most of these allergies are harmless but some like eczema can cause lot of distress and skin problems.

Hives are red welts of small or sometimes larger size that appear in the skin surface. Hives are a form of skin allergy and occurs when the skin is exposed or is subjected to chemicals or substances that trigger allergic reactions.

Hives are characterized by the feeling of itchiness. You know hot it feels when something is really itchy. There is a feeling of uneasiness and discomfort and sometimes wounds and scratches occur as products or results of scratching itchy skin surfaces.

Hives often manifest or appear in people who have already experienced or reported other allergic reactions that may include angioedema and hay fever.

The welts that often indicate or herald the onset of hives appear on the skin surface in clusters or batches.

The affected part feels itch because of releases of histamines and other body chemicals which are the body’s immune system’s reactions against allergens causing hives.

Causes that result to the onset or appearance of symptoms for hive vary. These sources or cause also are ver much broad and generalized, sometimes making the identification of the skin disease hard and inaccurate.

Hives often are body reflex reactions to harsh medications or drugs that are rejected by the body’s immune system.

Hives is not a disease. You should be advised that the skin condition is merely a skin reaction to allergens or substances that are rejected by the body upon entrance.

Occurrence of hives indicate that the body is very active in throwing out impurities and foreign and unlikely substances, indicating that the immune system is really working.

There are also several foods that may induce the appearance of hives in the skin. Common examples of these food are milk, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish and of course, berries.

On set of hives upon eating or taking in such foods can be avoided by totally eliminating these food in the diet. There are alternatives available in the market for such foods so cravings would be somehow satisfied and quenched.

Pollen, which normally are spread though the air during summer and spring seasons, also can contribute to the onset of hives.

Other causes include animal or insect bites and animal danders, especially those from cats.

Recent findings of hives studies also reveal and suggests that hives are sometimes hereditary. It must be noted, however, that hives can also develop or become full blown after illness or infections like leukemia and autoimmune diseases.

Other ailments that result in hives include hepatitis, angioedema, dog tapeworm, lupus erythematosus, mastocytosis and colds.

Symptoms of hives, treatments and prevention

The most prevalent and common symptoms of hives include appearance of red welts on certain skin portions and characterized itching.

It is very uncommon for the person with hives to develop a fever, but if that happens, immediate help and advice from the doctor is imperative.

Fevers indicate the attack of viral and bacterial elements and heralds the onset or looming danger of a more serious disease. In the case of hives, fever can pin point or indicate the presence or development of complications.

Antihistamines, epinephrine, coticosteroids and sedatives are the sure medications to curtail hives, but their administration and in take should be guided accordingly by physicians and doctors.

Prevention is achieved by avoiding exposure to allergens identified as causes for hives.

  Hives, known in the medical literature as urticaria, are a localized itchy outbreak of the skin. In this essentially allergic reaction, the skin breaks out in bumps surrounded by elongated flares. These "hives" are referred to as wheals or welts. The welts tend to be pink except that they turn white when touched. Welts may coalesce into plaques covering substantial areas of skin.

Hives are intensely itchy. They may involve any area of the body from the scalp to the soles of the feet, and appear in crops of 24- to 72-hour duration. The most common sites for outbreaks are the hands, feet, and face. Angioedema, a swelling below the skin caused by the same allergic mechanism, usually occurs around the eyes and in the lips. While the itchy bumps usually go away without treatment, angioedema in the upper respiratory tract may be life threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

A survey of college students indicates about one in five people has hives at some point in life. They may occur at any age, but young adults in their twenties are the most frequently affected. The precise causes of the condition vary person to person.

Aspirin sensitivity is observed in up to 67 percent of persons who have recurrent outbreaks of hives. Aspirin alters the metabolism of free fatty acids so that it favors the production of leukotrienes. These are hormonal messengers that make the walls of blood vessels more permeable to histamine. Aspirin also makes the lining of the intestines more permeable to allergens, increasing the risk of reaction to common food allergens such as cheese, chocolate, eggs, milk, pineapple, shellfish, and strawberries. At least one study found taking a single adult aspirin daily for three weeks desensitizes the immune system to aspirin and also to foods, but the benefits vanish if aspirin is discontinued.

Two factors increase the risk of outbreaks of hives after eating allergenic foods. One is incomplete digestion. A study published in the 1940’s reported that of 77 patients diagnosed with chronic hives, 65 had failures to produce enough stomach acid to break down the proteins that cause allergies. Treatment with hydrochloric acid and a vitamin B complex relieved symptoms in most of the patients in the study. Failure to secrete sufficient gastric acid is especially common in persons over the age of 60. It may be a major contributing factor in repeated outbreaks of hives after consuming allergenic foods in older persons.

Another contributing factor to recurrent food allergies is the permeability of the intestinal wall. This is the reason reactions to food are more severe when they are consumed after taking aspirin. Aspirin irritates the lining, increasing its permeability and easing transport of allergens into the bloodstream. Alcohol, NSAIDs, and many food additives have a similar effect. Consuming any substance that irritates the lining of the digestive tract increases the severity of the food allergy that causes hives.

Food colorings, especially yellow dye #5 (tartrazine), can provoke hives in about 0.1 percent of the population. Tartrazine is added to almost every food and even antihistamines, antibiotics, sedatives, and steroids. This yellow dye modifies fatty acid metabolism in the same manner as aspirin and increases the susceptibility of the skin to allergic inflammation.

Food flavorings are a major factor in many cases of hives in children. A wide range of salicyclic acid esters flavors cake mixes, chewing gum, puddings, and soft drinks. These chemical relatives of aspirin also occur naturally in curry powder, dill, licorice, oregano, paprika, peppermint, prunes, raisins, and turmeric. The average child consumes as much 200 mg of salicylate per day. This dosage approaches the amount of salicylate in children’s aspirin. Other flavorings, including aspartame, cinnamon, menthol, and vanilla may produce urticaria in some individuals.

The food preservatives BHA (butylated hydroxyanisol) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) provoke reactions in about 15 percent of individuals who have chronic hives. As many as 44 percent of persons with chronic urticaria are allergic to benzoates, which occur in relatively high concentrations in fish and shrimp. Sulfites, which are sprayed on fruits, vegetables, and shrimp to keep them fresh in countries outside the United States, aggravate a wide range of allergic conditions, including asthma as well as hives. Sulfites occur naturally in beer and wine.

About 1 in 10 people is allergic to penicillin, and about 1 in 4 of those allergic to penicillin will develop urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis after taking it. Penicillin is a common additive to livestock feeds. Both skin outbreaks and anaphylactic reactions have been traced to penicillin in frozen dinners, milk, and soft drinks. Among patients with chronic hives and an allergy to penicillin, about half will improve on a dairy-free diet.

Urticaria – Hives Skin Allergy

Approximately one out of six people develop hives once in their lifetime. Urticaria or hives can be very distracting if not very serious; partly on account of its symptoms and partly due to the uncertainty in duration of cure.

Hives is an allergic immune reaction developed like a skin rash in response to environmental allergens. Skin is an important organ of immunity that acts as defense barrier to factors perceived as toxic whether internal or external. Generally chronic hives do not lead to complications and shouldn’t be a major concern as its an allergic reaction produced to something that would otherwise be non-toxic.

Symptoms of Urticaria

Raised warm itchy areas on the skin can describe all forms of urticaria. Non-contagious rash may appear suddenly on any part of the body, last for few hours and disappear. Symptoms tend to increase at night and sleep deprivation may worsen the condition. Bee sting and drug allergy can lead to severe complications like breathlessness and shock in addition to skin problems. Swelling of lips and tongue are some grave signs that would need immediate medical help.

Causes of Urticaria

• Certain foods or newly introduced medicine can produce a surprise allergic reaction. Foods causing allergy could be nuts, seafood, dairy products, tomatoes, berries, eggs or gluten (wheat intolerance)
• Inhaling air borne allergens like dust, pollen and mold
• Stress and altered immunity can be inter-related and though ambiguous are more important factors
• Animal fur, cosmetics and synthetic material
• Insect bite and wasp sting
• Extreme cold or hot climate
• Rise in body temperature due to heat or exercise
• Physical stimulus like pressure or tight clothing
• Viruses may trigger hives
• Illnesses like hepatitis and lupus can cause skin allergies and treatment of the disease relieves the rash
• Hereditary causes of urticaria express themselves in childhood and need to be diagnosed and treated accordingly. Multiple allergens usually complicate the diagnosis

Urticaria Treatment

• Systemic illness needs to be excluded before treating urticaria
• Cold water shower
• Loose-fitting clothing
• Heavy physical exercises should be avoided
• Sunscreens and warm clothing can be used in solar and cold urticaria respectively.
• Identify and eliminate exposure to environmental factors
• Gradual diet elimination is a proven way to detect sensitivities
• Stress reduction by meditation and yoga
• Antiallergics like H1-antihistamines (e.g. Cetrizine) should be preferred due to its non-drowsy effect and can be safely used without side effects or addiction
• Steroids and epinephrine are used in severe cases with anti-histaminics to suppress the immune reaction. Steroids can help in acute attack but aren’t recommended for long-term use.
• Lacto calamine application, milk of magnesia and aloe vera gel can be used as topical creams.
• Dietary supplements and anti-oxidants to increase the immunity.

Living with Urticaria

The probable causes and definite cure has definitely left the specialists too scratching their heads. Recurrent hives in absence of any detectable factor should direct towards stress as the cause. Thus, an effort to identify trigger factors, effective stress management and symptomatic treatment for an unknown duration is the main key to relieve symptoms.

Prevention of Urticaria

Finding out such allergens can actually be an impossible task. Avoid exposure to any food, medicine, or physical agent that could possibly cause the rash. A daily diary can help monitor and diagnose the food allergy. Though emotional and physical stress is unavoidable, it should be dealt with appropriate relaxation therapies like exercise, yoga, meditation and social support groups. Self-evaluation after stress management could help, as it would be difficult to assess stress thresholds and hence stress recovery on the part of the physician.

Get Detailed Information On Urticaria

Urticaria (Hives) is a condition in which there are raised red spots or eruptions of various size on the surface of the skin, often itchy, which come and go. It is usually an allergy to a drug or some food item. Urticaria may vary in size and may join together to form larger swellings.

Urticaria is a common disorder, characterised by formation of weals on the skin. The disease is also known as nettle-rash as the rash of urticaria resembles the sting of a nettle. The disease may be acute, Chronic, or recurrent.

Urticaria is an allergic skin rash also known as ‘nettle rash’ or hives. There are two distinct types: acute urticaria is often caused by an allergy and can last between several hours and six weeks; chronic urticaria persists beyond six weeks. Most hives go away within days to a few weeks. Occasional unlucky individuals will have itches and swellings that come and go over many years. Urticaria is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute urticaria is defined as urticaria that has been present for less than 6 weeks.

The physical urticarias form a heterogeneous group of diseases due to the wide range of eliciting stimuli or clinical pictures as well as their association with other types of urticaria. Dermographic, cold, and pressure urticaria often occur together with chronic idiopathic, cholinergic, or other physical urticarias. In contrast, solar or heat urticaria mostly appear either as isolated diseases or are associated only with other types of physical urticaria.

Angioedema, on the other hand, is usually not red or itchy, but tends to sting and burn, and can be described as ‘numbness.’ This swelling can be severe, and if it affects a person’s ability to breathe, can be life-threatening.

Urticaria also called nettle-rash or hives or wheals in a common language, simply means itching with rash and mainly effects the neck, arms, legs and trunk of the children. Urticaria is an allergic reaction pattern of the skin, characterized by eruption of wheals or hives, which are itchy, transient, reddish and edematous swelling of the skin and mucosal surfaces that spread by peripheral extension and assume bizzare patterns on the skin. Wheals are caused by release of histamine and other chemical mediators which are released by mast cells which accumulate in the dermis of the skin as a response to some immunological or non immunological allergic response in the body.

Hives may appear at any point on the body once the trigger has happened. This may indicate a cause straight away. For example, if the rash appears on the arms or legs, a sun allergy may be responsible. The rash may have appeared underneath a new ring, which could indicate a reaction to a certain metal contained within the ring.

Hives are raised, often itchy, red welts on the surface of the skin. They are usually an allergic reaction to food or medicine. Hives caused by touching cold objects are often caused by infection and often stop after a person takes antibiotics. Doctors usually recommend avoiding aspirin, the most common drug cause of hives. In hives, which is also called urticaria, large red, raisM patches (wheals) appear suddenly on the skin, accompanied by itching. The patches can range up to the size of a half dollar or sometimes even larger.
