Overview
If patients notice any specific factor that leads to wheals development, avoiding that factor may reduce attack severity and frequency. These factors could be any food allergens, cold temperature, or sharp edges. It is also recommended to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and a hot bath just after an episode of urticaria.
Primary Prevention
- Avoidance exposure techniques:
- Avoidance exposure technique consisted of avoiding any factors that may stimulate skin lesions in urticaria patients, such as cold avoidance in cold-induced urticaria.
- It is recommended to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and a hot bath just after an episode of urticaria.
- Ask patients with delayed pressure urticaria to avoid sharp edges. Using gel-filled insoles for shoes is another helpful way to prevent delayed pressure urticaria.[1]
- If any food has been related to urticaria development, patients must be recommended to avoid that particular food.
