Papular urticaria is not contagious .
Papular urticaria is caused by allergies and is not an infectious disease. There are many causes of allergies. Food, drugs, air environment, contact with things, etc. can all cause the disease. A common environment causes multiple people to become sick and is not contagious. It has no clear pathogen, so it is not contagious. Papular urticaria is also called simple prurigo, or insect bite dermatitis, which means that insect bites are the main cause of the onset of papular urticaria. It is pathogen-free, because its onset is mainly an allergic reaction of the body to mosquito toxins, also known as allergy.
It is recommended to avoid spicy and greasy foods as much as possible in the diet, especially seafood foods. You can eat some fruits and vegetables if you have recurring allergies. If you have recurring allergies, you should go to the hospital to check the allergens and determine what allergies are Carry out targeted treatment.
