Vibratory urticaria - what does this mean
Vibratory urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria that is triggered by mechanical vibrations applied to the skin. it is caused by the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators in the skin in response to the mechanical stimulus, leading to the development of hives and itching.
What happens during the disease - vibratory urticaria
Vibratory urticaria is an autoimmune disorder caused by an ige-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to vibration. it is triggered by exposure to vibration, such as that produced by a cell phone, power tool, or other vibrating object. the body releases histamine and other chemicals in response to the vibration, resulting in an itchy rash, hives, and other symptoms.

Vibratory urticaria - Prevention
Vibratory urticaria can be prevented by avoiding activities that produce vibration such as using power tools, operating heavy machinery, and engaging in vigorous physical activities. wearing protective clothing, such as gloves and long sleeves, may also help reduce the risk of exposure to vibration. additionally, avoiding exposure to cold temperatures and taking antihistamine medications may help to reduce the risk of developing vibratory urticaria.
