An Article About Urticarial Vasculitis

Posted Feb 09 2010 12:00am

Hey Everyone.

I found an article written by Emma Lloyd about Urticarial Vasculitis, another vascular condition I was unaware of.

Here is a snippit from the article below…

The first sign of urticaria vasculitis is painful, burning urticaria lesions. These painful sensations indicate that blood vessels are becoming inflamed. If itching is present it can become more severe as the inflammation worsens.

Vasculitis lesions are reddish in color, and are often pale in the center. There might be small spots of blood called petechiae under the skin.

Most people with this skin condition have a good prognosis, although healing is often slow. It is common for treatment to help resolve the condition within months, or occasionally a year or longer. In some cases, the disease may become chronic, requiring long-term treatment to manage the symptoms. This skin condition is only dangerous or life-threatening in cases where kidney or lung problems develop as a result of systemic disease.

Treatment is usually based on how long the vasculitis lesions have been active, and whether the lesions are painful, burning, or itchy.

Please go here for the full article.
I want to apologize to everyone but I have found myself very tired and out of sorts over the past few days, and as we are getting ready to get pounded here in NY State with a pretty bad snow storm, I want to wait until I’m a bit more rested and focused before I finally start my post about ” A Natural Cure For Asthma “, and a new podcast coming up over the weekend, so thanks for every one’s patience and understanding.
