為什麼會起「風癩」？
有沒有過這樣的經驗？飯後突然覺得渾身痕癢，經常遇到突然在他們臉、頸上或手臂發現“一達達”的紅疹，帶點癢，摸上去有點熱，看起來與「蚊癩」有點相似，病發可能只出現數小時就消失但又會再出現其他身體部位，病癒時卻不留痕跡。這情況通常是因為吃到令他們敏感的食物，例如酒類、過量海鮮或調味等。除了要立即吃過敏藥，有時嚴重的更要打針才可解決，其實為甚麼會起風癩？
中醫理論稱風癩為「癮疹」，也就是西醫中的蕁麻疹及過敏，發作時會起一團團的疹，而且很多時會在被風吹後起疹，就被稱為「風癩」。容易起風癩的人士多因為體質因素或先天體質較虛弱，身體已經處於不同症狀的邊緣狀態，再加上生活壓力、情緒、食物或天氣的影響，外、內夾攻，形成風癩。
因為引起風癩的原因很多，所以還是要辨證論治才能對症下藥，另外服藥期間避免食用辛辣、海鮮、煙酒等動風發物。平時還是應保持脾胃健康，強身防病。
Have you experienced sudden appearance of blotchy rash all over your face, neck or arms? They itch a little and are a bit warm, and they might be a bit similar to mosquito bites. They may appear just for a few hours and disappear but later come back in a different area of your body. When you completely recover, no marks would be left behind. This usually is a result of consuming foods that you are allergic to such as alcohol, seafood or even certain seasoning. Sometimes you just need to take some medication, other times you may need a shot to resolve the issue. But what actually causes rashes?
The western medicine equivalent of this rash is hives or allergy. It usually appears in blotches and sometimes happens after getting blown by wind and that’s why people call it a ‘wind rash’. People prone to this have weaker bodies and their body constitution also subject them to the condition. When your body is already working close to its limits, added with stress, emotions, food intake or weather factors, the body basically gets attacked from inside and out to cause the rashes.
Since a lot of different factors can lead to rash, it is important to identify the cause and apply appropriate medication accordingly. When you are taking medication, avoid spicy foods, seafood, smoking and alcohol. You should regularly maintain a healthy spleen and stomach, and keep your body strong.
