Urticaria (Nettle Rash) Treatment

What is Urticaria (nettle rash)?

Urticaria (also known as Nettle rash) is composed of reddish itchy weals or swellings in the skin similar to those resulting from contact with stinging nettle. Urtica is the Latin word for nettle. The rash can vary in shape and size. It can be very itchy and usually goes away within 24 hours. Nettle rash may occur repeatedly or as a single episode.

In about 90 per cent of cases there's no apparent cause. Sometimes, however, it's possible to identify the cause of the nettle rash. It most commonly appears to be because of an allergic reaction.

Hives are produced by histamine and other compounds released from cells called mast cells, which are a normal part of skin. Histamine causes fluid to leak from the local blood vessels, leading to swelling in the skin.

Any of the following may trigger symptoms:

• a particular kind of food that causes an allergy. Eggs, nuts, strawberries and seafood are some of the common culprits.
• contact with pollen or fungal spores
• medicines, most commonly, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, and ACE-inhibitors.
• insect bites
• infections, which may be caused by viruses, parasites or bacteria
• contact with plants such as stinging nettles
• contact with animals or creatures, such as stinging jellyfish
• physical stimuli, such as feeling cold or warm, sunlight, water, sweating or pressure
• substances, such as perfumes, preservatives, colourings, nickel or tar.

Medications

Antihistamines are the most commonly used group of medicines for nettle rash. They relieve itching, reduce nettle rash from a severe to a mild outbreak and make the rash disappear. They may be administered as tablets or injections.

Discuss your options with your physician before choosing any medication especially those that will be used on children.
