What is urticaria?
"Urticaria, commonly known as "rubella", is a common skin condition. Symptoms usually include the sudden appearance of a circular (oval) or map-like red bump on a localised area of the skin, accompanied by an intense itching sensation. Urticaria appears without warning and tends to recur over a period of time in different areas of the skin.
Causes of urticaria
Histamine is released by mast cells in the skin when they are irritated. This histamine irritates the skin or nerves, causing redness, swelling and itching. There are many causes of urticaria, but some of the common causes are
1. Stress and fatigue: When you are stressed or fatigued, your immune system is lowered and you are more likely to develop hives.
2. Allergic symptoms: Allergic symptoms (e.g. food allergy, clothing allergy, insect allergy, etc.) can cause urticaria.
3. Physical irritation: Rubbing and pulling on clothing, exposure to sunlight, or changes in heat or cold can irritate the skin and cause hives.
4. Sweating: Sweat may irritate the skin and cause hives.
How to stop hives from appearing
Scratching the affected skin can temporarily relieve the itchiness, but scratching the affected area can also re-irritate the skin and make the symptoms of urticaria more likely to worsen and expand. Mentholatum Jinmato Hive Cream is an anti-itch, anti-inflammatory and skin calming ointment that helps to stop hives from appearing at their source.
Mentholatum Jinmato Hive Cream contains three anti-itching ingredients: dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, an anti-inflammatory ingredient that inhibits skin inflammation; zinc oxide, an astringent ingredient that calms the skin; and menthol, a cooling ingredient that relieves skin redness. The three anti-itching ingredients inhibit the irritation of histamine substances and instantly relieve itching.
Mentholatum Jinmato Hive Cream is steroid-free and has a smooth texture. It is non-sticky and can be used by children over 1 year old. A must-have topical remedy for the home.
