What is Chronic Urticaria?

Urticaria, also known as hives, tends to affect around 1 in 6 people at some point in their lives, with it being most prevalent in women aged between 30 and 60, children and allergy sufferers. Urticaria becomes ‘chronic’ if it lasts for 6 weeks or more, with women being twice as likely to suffer from chronic urticaria as men. Fortunately it’s far less common than short term urticaria, affecting approximately 1 in every 1000 people.
How is it caused?
Chronic urticaria is believed to be caused by a disturbance in your auto-immune system which causes your body to damage some of its cells. It can also occur as a result of an allergy to food, perfumes or medicine and from bacteria and parasites, although this is extremely uncommon. It tends to arise when a trigger (such as an allergy) results in the release of high levels of histamine and other forms of chemical messengers in the skin. When this happens, the blood vessels in the affected area open up allowing fluid to seep into the tissues, thus causing the skin to become red or pink, swollen and itchy.
Why does this happen?
In the vast majority of long-term or chronic urticaria cases, it’s usually not possible to find an obvious reason for the condition. However experts tend to think that it happens as a result of the immune system attacking healthy tissue without cause, with between a third and a half of all cases of chronic urticaria being classed as an autoimmune reaction. During the reaction, the body produces antibodies which in turn trigger the release of histamine, which causes the red, swollen and itchy bumps.
While it’s not known why this happens, it sometimes occurs together with other autoimmune conditions such as lupus, where the immune system attacks the joints and skin, and rheumatoid arthritis. It’s also linked with several other chronic illnesses and infections, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, and some liver infections too.
Do certain things make chronic urticaria worse?
Many sufferers of chronic urticaria find that although it tends to come and go, exposure to certain triggers may make it re-occur or worsen existing symptoms. These triggers include things such as feeling stressed, drinking alcohol and caffeine, certain medications, insect bites and stings, and exposure to hot and cold temperatures or pressure on the skin.
If you think you are suffering from chronic urticaria, you may want to consult with your physician for a full diagnosis.

What causes Chronic Urticaria?

If you’ve be diagnosed with chronic urticaria you’re more than likely to be well acquainted with the red, itchy rash of wheals that appears over your body. Whether these are small raised and swollen bumps, or they’ve run together to form larger areas of hives, it’s no doubt causing you both pain and discomfort, not to mention that it looks unsightly too. As a chronic sufferer of urticaria, you’re likely to experience reoccurring episodes which can last for anything from a few hours to a days, weeks or longer, and which often reach their peak of discomfort during the evenings to make sleeping very difficult.
While you may be aware that you do suffer from this condition, do you know what causes chronic urticaria?
Urticaria is classed as being chronic when your case of hives has lasted for 6 weeks or more. Just like acute urticaria, chronic urticaria occurs as an autoimmune response, causing your body to have an allergic reaction and produce histamine. This sometimes happens in response to a specific allergen or allergens, however in a high proportion of cases there is often no readily identifiable cause. If the allergen is unable to be identified, then you’re said to be suffering from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria or CIU.
Chronic urticaria affects about 1 in 1000 people, with women being twice as likely to suffer from the condition as men. During an episode, your immune system releases high levels of histamine into your body, causing the blood vessels in the affected area to open up and leak fluid into the surrounding tissues. The skin then becomes swollen, red and inflamed and can be either painful, itchy or both. Symptoms of long-term urticaria can be unpredictable to say the least with about half of sufferers experiencing symptoms which last for 6-12 weeks, followed by periods of remission where their symptoms either get better or completely disappear. Many find that certain triggers will make their symptoms worse, especially during periods of stress or when they drink alcohol. Unfortunately, a small proportion of sufferers (around 10%) experience persistent symptoms all year round.
For many sufferers, it’s not possible to find an obvious cause for the condition, however over a third of all cases are classed as some kind of autoimmune reaction. Chronic urticaria can also occur together with other autoimmune conditions such as arthritis and lupus and illnesses such as hepatitis and thyroid issues.

Is there an effective natural CIU treatment?

While most doctors would prescribe anti-histamines, steroids or other forms of medication to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria, if you’re the kind of person who prefers to use more natural remedies, you may be interested in the following natural treatments which have proved effective.
Try natural remedies such as herbs, nettles and aloe vera
Many sufferers of CIU rely on anti-histamines to control the symptoms of this distressing condition as this medication is able to suppress the production of histamine (which causes the hives) from the mast cells. This has the effect of reducing the associated inflammation, and also helps them to disappear more quickly than if left to their own devices.

However, there are more natural ways of addressing the discomfort of hives, including using nettles, herbs or aloe vera, which all have naturally occurring anti-histamine properties, and which can help to soothe the discomfort of the condition. While these will provide much needed relief, they won’t offer a permanent cure, but they will make it easier to cope with the condition until it goes into natural remission.
Ways to ease the itching
A mixture of baking soda and water is an effective treatment for stopping the hives from itching, as are Epsom salt baths or oatmeal baths. However, while these do relieve the itchiness, they won’t cure the problem. It’s also believed that certain foods will help the body to fight off the allergic reaction. These include citrus fruits, strawberries, peppers, leafy greens and tomatoes, but generally anything which has a high level of vitamin C offers the best chance of keeping the hives under control.

However, as these fruits and vegetables could actually have caused the hives in the first place, it’s advisable to try to discover your personal triggers before effecting this particular natural remedy!
Probiotics help to get rid of toxins
It may also be worth trying other natural remedies such as Quercetin, which has been seen to control urticaria well, however it needs to be taken on a regular, long term basis to ensure that you don’t suffer a relapse and a repeat bout of hives. Some probiotics, such as acidophilus, have also proved effective, as they help the body to get rid of toxins.
Although urticaria is generally believed to be caused by an allergic reaction to specific allergens, these allergens will vary from person to person, and it may take a little trial and error before you find the best and most effective natural CIU treatment for you.

Beyoncé skin lightening – how did she do it?

Since Beyoncé made her first appearance in the public eye, several years ago, her skin has become increasingly lighter in colour. No, this is not something that would occur naturally with age, it can only be the result of skin bleaching. While she has not admitted the use of skin whitening substances, and it is not known precisely how she has achieved this dramatic change in colour, there are actually several methods that you could try if you want similar results.
Skin whitening creams are widely believed to be responsible for the singer’s considerable change in colour. These contain substances that bleach the skin by reacting to reduce the amount of melanin that is present. Melanin is the pigment that produces colour in both hair and skin – the more of it that is present, the darker the colour will be. By applying a skin whitening cream to reduce the melanin, a paler skin colour will be produced. If this is something that you are looking into, then choose a cream that has active ingredients derived from natural sources if possible, and avoid any that list mercury as an ingredient.
It is also possible to lighten the skin by using a range of natural substances, which will be kinder to the body. However, these will take longer to produce results, so you will need to be patient and keep using the products. Lemon juice is one of the most popular substances as it is so readily available. It must be freshly squeezed lemon juice in order to be effective, rather than one that is full of preservatives. You can use the juice in two main ways – either dab it directly onto the skin, or mix with honey into a face mask and apply. Using the juice alone should produce results faster, but it can dry out the skin and is also likely to produce a stinging sensation. The honey acts as a moisturiser.
Tea tree oil can also have a lightening effect on the skin, but this is most suitable for eliminating suntans. If you are dark skinned but also tanned, then this is something that you may wish to try. Use a cleanser that contains tea tree oil, as this penetrates deep into the skin.
Finally, it is important to drink lots of water. This helps to improve the skin tone and keep the colour even throughout the body.

Is Chronic Urticaria always idiopathic?

While many people (1 in 6) may have suffered from urticaria, otherwise known as hives, at some time in their life, some people suffer repeated episodes over a long period of time. If hives are a problem for periods of six weeks or longer, you’re said to suffer from chronic urticaria, a condition which affects approximately 1 in 1000 people. These episodes can last for a few hours, a few days, a few weeks or even for months at a time, and can be triggered by a number of factors, leaving the sufferer with red or pink raised wheals over large areas of their body, which may include the face, neck and lips.
When is urticaria classed as being chronic?
If your symptoms last for six weeks or longer, your urticaria will be classed as long-term or chronic. While symptoms can be unpredictable, almost 50% of sufferers find that their symptoms last between 6-12 weeks before they improve or disappear completely to give welcome periods of remission. However, some unfortunate people may find that their symptoms persist all year round. In the vast majority of cases, sufferers find that specific triggers tend to make their symptoms worse, including stress and alcohol consumption.
When does chronic urticaria become chronic idiopathic urticaria?
Chronic urticaria is an autoimmune condition which is caused when the immune system responds to an allergen by releasing histamine into the body. When this happens the blood vessels can open up, leaking fluid into the surrounding tissues which then cause the skin to become red or pink, swollen and itchy. For a proportion of sufferers, it’s possible to identify the allergen or allergens which have caused the reaction, however for a large number of cases, despite testing for various allergies, there’s no readily identifiable reason. If you suffer regularly from hives and it’s not been possible to identify the cause, then you’re likely to have the diagnosis of Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU), which means that there is no identifiable trigger for your condition.
This means chronic urticaria isn’t necessarily idiopathic as it’s possible that the cause of your hives will be identified through various allergy testing or through keeping a diary to pinpoint the allergens that are having an effect on your immune system. However, for many people, identification of the triggers can prove to be very elusive, leaving them with the diagnosis of CIU.
