What Causes Cholergic Urticaria, Its Symptoms, and

How to Prevent It

After vigorous exercise or taking a bath,

red hives may suddenly appear on the skin,

which can be surprising.

This is called cholergic urticaria. You should be careful not only in the hot summer,

but also in cold seasons, because symptoms can become more severe,

so you need to always be cautious.

Today, we will look at what causes cholergic urticaria,

as well as the symptoms that may accompany it and how it can be prevented.

Cholergic urticaria is a generalized heat urticaria that occurs when the core body temperature rises by more than 1 degree due to heat or emotional刺激.

In the case of cholergic urticaria, it can usually be triggered by intense exercise,

a hot bath, or mental stress.

Urticaria is generally divided into acute and chronic urticaria, and there is also physical urticaria that occurs in response to physical stimuli;

this condition falls under physical urticaria.

However, the cause of cholergic urticaria has not been clearly identified,

but it is known to be related to the body's response in regulating body temperature.

When our body temperature rises, acetylcholine secreted by the parasympathetic nervous system stimulates the sweat glands,

causing them to release moisture and regulate body temperature.

If, in this process, acetylcholine stimulates mast cells,

histamine is released and cholergic urticaria may occur.

Following the causes of cholergic urticaria, if we look at the symptoms,

the main symptoms are severe itching and stinging, and in many cases people mainly complain of stinging.

Multiple hives about 1 to 2 mm in size, smaller than typical hives, appear,

and erythematous redness may also appear around them.

If the symptoms are severe, symptoms such as sweating, headache, dizziness, and perspiration throughout the body may also occur,

and it can lead to breathing difficulties and vomiting.

If symptoms appear, it is best to relieve the itching with a cold compress,

and treatment can be done by taking antihistamines.

However, because it is a chronic condition that can recur even after treatment,

it is important in the case of cholergic urticaria to know prevention methods rather than just treatment.

First, avoiding situations that suddenly raise body temperature, such as excessive exercise or hot saunas and steam rooms,

can help prevent symptoms.

In addition, it is better to reduce outdoor activities in the summer,

manage stress, and drink water frequently, which can help prevent symptoms.

If the skin becomes dry, itching can become even worse, so it is important to apply lotion often so that the skin does not become dry.
