What happens during the disease - other urticaria
Other urticaria is a type of skin condition that is caused by an allergic reaction to a substance that comes into contact with the skin. it is characterized by red, swollen, and itchy skin that can be accompanied by hives and angioedema. the reaction is caused by the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils, which occurs when the body is exposed to an allergen. this can result in the activation of the immune system and the production of antibodies, leading to inflammation.
