Adult-onset allergic purpura can be controlled and recurrence reduced with standardized treatment, but it is difficult to cure completely and requires long-term management. Treatment includes medication, lifestyle modifications, and regular follow-up. The causes include immune abnormalities, infections, and drug allergies.
1. Drug therapy is key to controlling allergic purpura. Glucocorticoids such as prednisone are commonly used to relieve acute symptoms, immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide can reduce recurrence, and antihistamines such as loratadine help relieve skin itching. Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor; avoid discontinuing medication or adjusting the dosage on your own.
2. Lifestyle adjustments can help reduce triggers. Avoid contact with known allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods; keep skin clean and moisturized; wear loose clothing to reduce friction. Choose a diet low in salt and fat, rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and leafy green vegetables, to help boost immunity.
3. Regular follow-up and monitoring of changes in the condition are crucial. Patients should have regular urinalysis and kidney function tests to detect kidney involvement promptly. Doctors will adjust the treatment plan according to the condition, and patients need to actively cooperate and avoid ignoring mild symptoms.
Treatment of adult allergic purpura requires a combination of medication, lifestyle modifications, and regular follow-up. Long-term management can effectively control symptoms and reduce recurrence, but complete cure still requires further research and exploration of individualized treatment plans.
