Abstract
Skin disorders represent a significant health challenge across all age
groups and are linked to considerable morbidity. Urticaria is recognized as a
major concern regarding its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Although certain
skin conditions are highly prevalent in developing countries, they have not
been prioritized in public health strategies. The rate of treatment failures in
managing skin disorders within primary care is alarmingly high. Urticaria, the
fourth most common allergic condition, arises from the release of histamine,
bradykinin, kallikrein, and other vasoactive substances from mast cells and
basophils in the upper dermis. It is not a single ailment but rather a pattern
of skin reaction that involves localized swelling and the formation of wheals.
Acute urticaria is more frequently seen in younger individuals, while the
chronic form primarily affects middle-aged women. Antihistamines,
corticosteroids, and leukotriene antagonists can offer temporary relief from
symptoms. This review presents extensive information about medicinal plants
beneficial for treating urticaria.
