Physical hives symbolize a unique subtype of the hives
that are roused by an exogenous physical stimulus instead of occurring
spontaneously. In physical hives, the skin of the patient
usually becomes raised and inflamed, especially when stroked,
scratched, rubbed, or slapped. The physical hives can
be classified by different sources, such as thermal, mechanical,
and
cholinergic.
Hives and stress or stress hives is one of the most common types of
physical hives.
It is believed that nearly 30% of the cases of chronic
hives have a physical cause. Though physical hives is not a life
threatening disease, it can cause great distress and itchiness. This is
not a contagious disease and it is not transferred from one person to
another. In many cases, rashes vanish within a few hours after
appearing, and in some cases, they may remain much longer or reappear
on the same or on a different area of the skin after a while.
Physical hives can be caused by many factors;
however, all of these factors are physical triggers. It is usually
triggered by extreme stress, very tight or rough clothing,
wristwatches, sunglasses, highly energetic kissing, extreme weather
(both hot and cold), or anything that causes stress to the skin of the
patient. In most cases, it is just a minor irritation; however, a few
cases have also been reported where symptoms were severe enough to
impact a patient's life as a whole. If hives affect the quality of your
life, it is time for you to consult a qualified doctor.
Physical Urticaria Physical Hives
Physical hives are mostly triggered by scratching the
skin or by rough clothing, wristwatches, sunglasses, highly energetic
kissing, and extreme weather, etc. It is also referred to as
Dermatographism. Physical hives is a term used interchangeably with
physical urticaria; therefore, physical urticaria and physical hives
mean the
same thing.
