Nettle rash, also known as urticaria, is a peculiar and very unpleasant condition. Although easily diagnosed, the actual cause is another matter. The itching variety of urticaria is accompanied by small pink eruptions on the skin. Identifying the cause of the complaint is often difficult. As a rule, it is recognised that a sensitivity to certain substances or foods is responsible for nettle rash, the kind of hypersensitivity generally referred to as an allergy. Where such a tendency exists, certain foods, such as strawberries, fish, cheese, eggs, seafood, pork and salami may be the allergens that cause such a reaction. There could also be a reaction to certain medications, even if these are biological preparations such as arnica, to cite just one. What can you do if you are susceptible to attacks of urticaria?
