Aquagenic Urticaria[Water Allergy]

Posted by Harika Gouda
 Let's Reveal.....
    Aquagenic Urticaria(Water Allergy)
'

We all know approximately 60-70% of our body consist of water.....right?
Water boost energy,water delivers important nutrients,aids in digestion,detoxifies,hydrates skin and what not????
Ever wondered about being allergic to water,don't it seems strange..?


    1st reported case in 1963,
    1st described by Shelley and Rawnsley in 1964.

It's an extremely rare case  where person develops hives[Rashes,Itching,Burning] when comes in contact with water regardless with its temperature.
Tap,sea,ocean,swimming pool,cool,hot etc any type or  any form of water exposure can lead to allergy..
In severe cases sweat,tear,saliva too also leads to allergy.

Causes:-
  • Not yet well defined.
  • But there are few assumptions like it's because of reaction  between chemical components present in water with skin which leads to '' histamine release''

Symptoms:-
  • Hives[{ Mostly effects at neck and arms}
  • Rashes fades within 30-60 minutes after removal/cleaning of water from that place
  • Mostly seen in females compare to males


Treatment:-
No treatment till date.
Few medications available to prevent it temporarily[Anti Histamine]

  • Prevention:-
  1. Avoid water exposure 
  2. Avoid fruits,vegetables containing large quantity of water[cucumber,watermelon]
  3. Barrier creams[oil in emulsion creams before shower to reduce contact with water]
      Since "oil never combines with water"this will reduce exposure of skin with water

  • Diagnosis:-
  1. Water challenge test
How rare is this???
1 in 230 million people
32 cases were reported till 2016  from entire planet


So guys, this was all about water allergy i.e Aquagenic urticaria
I know this was quite lengthy but it's equally important to cover all aspects✌

      But again...it's not a proper way to prevent allergy...hope medicine/treatment come soon ✌️
