One of too many..

The skin can show up with some very graphic disturbing things🙂

Seeing some of these on your skin and the symptoms they come with can drive you cr*azy.

Sooooo, let's meet one of such.

This, in inserted pic is medically called urticaria a.k.a hives.

Patients usually come with complaints of having a skin reaction, say my skin itching so badly or I have swellings on my skin.

If you have difficulty breathing, swelling of your tongue and face in addition, these are what can put your life in danger.

Some facts for you to note are....

1. What you eat and drink can be the cause.

2. Some infections and diseases can also be the cause.

3. Physical things in your environment can be triggers

4. Sometimes nothing can be identified as cause and triggers.

5. MOST IMPORTANTLY, see a dermatologist so we can find out whether an infection or disease is the culprit and help you fix it.

While you wait to see a derm, watch closely for any of the above triggers and avoid.
