As promised in the last blog, today’s post will explain the differences and similarities between urticaria and dermographism. You will learn some important and helpful details here.
Urticaria is a skin disease evident by the outbreak of red itchy wheals on any part of the skin. On the other hand, dermographism is a subtype of urticaria. This is why dermographism is also called dermographic urticaria. Dermographism is also called skin writing as the rashes appear on the skin in form of writing while urticaria wheals are unordered and can be widespread. The itching caused by both is similar and the treatment is also nearly the same.
Next week’s post will compare the two most painful and deadly diseases, urticaria and angioedema,please add it on your calendar to-do list so you don’t forget to read it.
To some people, it will be a surprise that urticaria and hives are the two names of one disease. Actually urticaria is the medical name, while hives is the commonly used name for red itchy wheals that can outbreak anywhere on your skin.
Similarly urticaria treatment or hives treatment are also the same. The most common and popular treatment is the intake of antihistamines. Actually antihistamines are drugs which counter the effect of histamine release by the mast cells. Mast cells are a part of the defense mechanism widespread in the human skin and when disturbed they release these fluids which result in itchy rashes and wheals which are usually red or pink in color.

Hi, my name is Marie and I’m from Atlanta, Georgia. I used to suffer from hives, had it for years, I had a horribly red itchy skin blotching. It affected everything in my life, from sleepless nights to just my everyday activities when I go outside. I spent years trying to find the right way to get rid of my hives.
I went to doctors. I spent lots of money on prescriptions, and nothing worked. And then I found Dr. Gary.
Dr. Gary was so nice to work with. he is really a great person. His remedy is simple and effective, and it really works. Thank you so much Dr. Gary.
Hi, this is stacy Rene, and I wanna say thank you to Dr. Gary Levin for his new ebook. It was actually the only treatment that helped me self recover from urticaria hives. It was truly amazing.
I have been in pain for years. I had uncountable nights of no sleep or barely any sleep. I’ve spent lots of time at numerous doctors just wasting time over the years. Up to a few months ago, and that’s when I found Dr. Gary’s website and I used the eBook for simple and effective natural methods of treatment. Like I said, truly amazing. I was just using antihistamines and all kinds of over the counter drugs, prescription drugs, just to get some relief. They wouldn’t cure me, but just trying to get some relief.
My family and I are so happy now that I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you to you, Dr. Gary for your simple and effective natural methods of treatment. It took me about 4 weeks to get back to normal, but wow, I forgot how wonderful life could be. Thank you Dr. Gary, and for those of you watching, not only is Dr. Gary an amazingly intelligent person, but Dr. Gary is a truly wonderful person as well. He is just truly amazing. Again, thank you Dr. Gary. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Hi guys, my name is Jason and I just wanted to make a quick video. First all, thanking Dr. Gary for his ebook, and just to tell you a little bit of my experience with Dr. Gary as well as with Urticaria, hives… chronic urticaria that I have been suffering with for the past several years.
You know, it was really a very depressing situation that I was in and as I have suffered from urticaria for several years. It was a very painful experience and honestly I had lost most hope of every recovering from it. For those of you that might suffer from it, you know how painful and how hard it can be to live with. I can’t count the sleepless nights, and countless failed treatments.
I went through several different treatments, processes, none of which was successful. I was taken in for histamine and all kinds of different drugs just to get some sort of relief from it, and none of it helped. I went through several different doctors and it was just really a waste of time and a lot of money because they all basically had the same treatment plan, even though I would express to them that it didn’t work in the past, they say, “well, you know, let’s try it this way…”, and of course the end result was that it didn’t help. And so I was stucked in this endless, seemingly cycle of pain and frustration, and I just really wanted to get back to a normal life.
Like I said, I lost all hope that was ever going to happen until I did a lot of extensive research, and finally came across Dr. Gary and his ebook for self treatment and his natural remedy to the situation that I was in. I am so happy that I found him and I just wanted to say thanks to Dr. Gary for his simple, effective, natural treatment. It took about four weeks of his treatments to get back to normal life, and after that I was completely rid of my experience or my condition, or my battle really with urticaria. It just really, it changed my life completely.
Dr. Gary is a person, is someone who is very compassionate. His main goal is to get you better and that is his passion. He is very caring about people and he understands the situation that you are in, even if you’ve been to countless number of other doctors who weren’t able to help. He understands that. He believes that he can help you with his natural treatment process, and it’s true because he was able to help me. Like I said, it changed my life. I suffered from it for so long, you know, I lost all hope. He was kinda just something that I wasn’t really putting all my faith in, but it was kinda like a last resort because I tried everything else and I wished I have found him first. It would have saved me a whole lot of pain and suffering and a lot of time that I went through.
I would highly recommend him to anybody. He is such a Godsend. His treatment plan is such a Godsend, and I can’t say it enough. If you suffer from hives or urticaria, or even the closely related illness known as angioedema, he can help with that as well. His treatment is 100% effective, it was for me. I have the highest faith and it will be for you as well. I have said a few things, about Dr. Gary, about his treatment process, and what he has done for me, but I would highly recommend that you check him out, check his ebook out and consider his treatment plan, it’s your treatment plan. It’s 100% effective, it was for me and I’m sure it will be with you as well. So that’s it. Thank you Dr. Gary. Thanks to everybody for listening to me.

My encounter with Urticaria and how I beat it!
I first encountered Urticaria (hives) about 12 months ago (age of 70). I went to see my doctor because I was experiencing severe itching on my hands, around my waist, on my neck and legs, at night I often awoke with severe itching and inflammation. In fact my doctor advised keeping a damp flannel in the fridge to cool my attacks. I was given ointment and pills to calm down the attacks. None worked. I tried using anthisan cream and found it gave some relief. I then decided to find out on the Net if other people suffered the same.
This when I read about Doctor Gary Levin and his book on Natural Urticaria Treatment. I found after reading the book the promise of some relief was not to be missed.
I purchased a ***** on the Net as living in the UK I was unaware that **** existed here. After using up the ***** I became aware that it was available in the UK and in a lot of other countries. This not only saved me considerable expense but made the chance to purchase more than 500ml at one time.
The **** with the ****** became my salvation.
I have seen my urticaria retreating after 10 days since I started using Dr Gary’s method and it took over 3 months and 1and half gallons before the Urticaria diminished to the occasion odd itch that also stopped within an hour of my morning drink.
My sleeping became a pleasure not a time to be feared.
No doubt, urticaria is a very unkind and painful ailment, but proper urticaria treatment can help you get rid of the itching and burning caused by the rashes. If you or any of your family or friends is suffering from any type of urticaria following some simple steps can be very helpful in reducing the itching. The best thing about these tips is that you don’t have to buy any expensive medicine.
Itchy urticaria can be really distressing, but did you know that simply exposing the affected area to fresh air reduces the itching considerably. Similarly, cooling down the affected area with an ice pack, cool compression or simply a cloth dipped in cold water can reduce the itching to a minimum. If the itching is still persisting, you may take non-sedating over the counter antihistamines. However, consulting a doctor is advisable if the condition persists.
Next week, hives and some of its common types will be discussed, you will be astonished to learn how simple home remedies can help your hives.
It is a fact that urticaria treatment can be expensive and time consuming, though there are some cheap herbal products which can bring quick results. But the question is, why should one suffer from urticaria in the first place? You must have heard that prevention is better than cure, so here are some simple tips that can help you stay safe from urticaria.
If you have a history of hereditary urticaria e.g. physical urticaria in your family, do not wait for the symptoms to appear, rather you must be proactive. Consult a qualified doctor for diagnosis because you may have a deficiency of C1 inhibitors which can be the cause of hereditary angioedema. People allergic to certain items or foods must avoid them. Last but not least, learn more about the disease as knowledge is power and with more power you can defeat urticaria.
But what if you already have urticaria and the itching is beyond tolerance? Read my post next week and find out the best solution.
Pathophysiology is actually the study of changes of normal biochemical, mechanical, and physical functions, in the human body which are caused by a disease or any other abnormal syndrome.
This post will describe the pathophysiology of urticaria. You might think that this should be only useful for medical students or professionals but if you are understand it, you can go about urticaria treatment in a better way.
Urticaria is caused by the release of histamines, bradykinin, leukotriene C4, and some other vasoactive fluids by the mast cells (which are a part of our defense mechanism). This can involve capillary or membrane damage as well. When these fluids e.g. histamines are released into the dermis, the rashes of urticaria appear on the skin, which are itchy and usually red in color. Physical urticaria is usually caused by physical stimuli, whereas in chronic urticaria the causes are usually unknown.
Do not miss the next post upcoming week which has some great tips for avoiding urticaria.
Urticaria is a kind of disease which can include other symptoms, especially if the underlying causes are not cured properly. Today’s post will show the related conditions which can accompany urticaria and how they make urticaria treament harder.
The most feared and deadly related condition of urticaria is angioedema. In angioedema there is swelling instead of welts, which occurs deeper in the skin. The swelling usually occurs on the face: around the lips and eyes and that is why it is also called facial angioedema. If urticaria is accompanied by angioedema, it should be paid serious attention to, especially if it occurred in response to an allergen. Furthermore, angioedema can cause suffocation and threaten the life of the patient.
