Product Description
A patient of mine has had unrelenting urticaria for 7 weeks, along with occasional tightness in the throat and chest. Corticosteroid and antihistamine therapies have been ineffective. Nothing in her environment has changed, and although she is a busy college student, she does not feel any particular stress or anxiety. However, she does report having smoked clove cigarettes (60% tobacco and 40% cloves) for more than a year, and she continues to smoke them. Could they be the source of the problem? ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A wheal or wheal response, also called a welt or weal (in the UK), is a firm, elevated swelling of the skin. Wheals are generally pale red in color, although color can also be deep red or purple. They may be round, oval, gyrate, annular or irregular/serpiginous in shape and are usually rounded or flat topped. When they are irregular/serpiginous in shape, wheals often appear with pseudopods. Wheals are usually well demarcated and often itch or have a burning sensation. They typically disappear within 24-48 hours. An itchy rash consisting of wheals may be called urticaria (known individually as a uticarial exanthem) or, more commonly, hives. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Urticaria (from the Latin urtica, nettle (whence It. ortica, Sp. ortiga, Pg. urtiga) urere, to burn) (or hives) are a kind of skin rash notable for dark red, raised, itchy bumps. Hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions; however, there are many non-allergic causes. For example, most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than six weeks) are rarely due to an allergy. The majority of patients with chronic hives have an unknown (idiopathic) cause. Perhaps as many as 30-40% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria will, in fact, have an autoimmune cause. Acute viral infection is another common cause of acute urticaria (viral exanthem). Less common causes of hives include friction, pressure, temperature extremes, exercise, and sunlight. ... Read more
