Does anyone know about the skin disease Urticaria Pigmentosa?


Okay I have this skin disease that makes you break out and mostly children get it and I had it when I was smaller and they said it would go away and it did but then I got pregnant and it came back and I'm not pregnant anymore but it is worse now all the things that I have read about it say that if adults have it then they should go get blood work done. I want to know what you think and also if it is heritatry? (I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly.)

HI, I am sorry that I don't really know what to tell you, However I have pasted two resources below that deal with Urticaria Pigmentosa and they will be able to hellp you better. Take Care and HOpe all is well very soon! :)

Now this is going to be a toughie for you. Only about 200,000 people in the USA have this... so you need to find someone who is used to dealing with rare skin disorders... Or at very least a really really good allergist/dermatologist... maybe both to work together to make you more comfie.
I would get some blood work run as this disease can in fact affect some of your internal organs.
