How we understand Chronic Urticaria today
Skin mast cells become trigger-happy, raising itchy wheals that come and go for six weeks or more. Often no single cause is found, and fatigue or stress worsens it.
Ways people approach it
- Recording when and where wheals appear, and what preceded them (baths, exercise, tight clothing), maps your aggravators
- Daily antihistamines to maintain a wheal-free state is the standard approach
- Hot baths and hard scrubbing make it worse — lukewarm and gentle is the rule
- Sleep debt and fatigue reliably worsen it — support from the basics
