The Beginning of Autumn is coming soon, and the weather is getting less hot. However, this season is the season when urticaria is most common!
Often in the evening, my skin will start to itch. There will be a small amount of wheals randomly, one by one, with different sizes and shapes. They will become larger and larger, very itchy, and it will take a few hours to disappear, and even if I apply a lot of anti-itching ointments, they will disappear. Useless!
