Erythromgia, also known as Mitchell’s disease, is a very rare vascular disease, characterized by swelling of the limbs, which occurs most often in feet and legs, causing pain, redness, itching, hyperthermia and burns.
The onset of this disease may be related to genetic factors or may be caused by other diseases, such as autoimmune or myelophatic diseases, or by exposure to toxic substances.
- There is no cure for erythromlgia.
- But symptoms can be relieved by applying cold compresses and lifting the limbs.
- In addition.
- It is very important to treat the root cause to reduce the frequency of seizures.
Erythromellolygia can be classified according to the root causes
Primary erythromgia has a genetic cause, due to the appearance of a mutation in the SCN9 gene, or is often unknown, and is more common in children and adolescents, the most common being the appearance of outbreaks, redness, pain, itching and burning in the hands, feet and legs, which can last only a few minutes to a few days.
Secondary erythromgia is associated with other diseases, especially autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes and lupus, or myelocoliliferative diseases, hypertension or certain vascular diseases, and due to exposure to toxic substances, such as mercury or arsenic, or the use of certain medications that block calcium medications, such as verapamil or nedipine.
Secondary erythromlgia is more common in adults and symptoms are often triggered by seizures of the diseases that cause it.
In addition, exposure to heat, exercise, severity, and wearing socks and gloves can trigger symptoms or intensify discomfort.
Symptoms that can be caused by erythromelgia occur mainly in feet and legs and less frequently in the hands, the most frequent being pain, swelling, redness, itching, hyperthermia and burns.
Because erythromlgia does not heal, treatment involves relieving symptoms and can be done by relieving symptoms, such as lifting the limbs and applying cold compresses to hands, feet and legs, to reduce heat.
In addition, it is very important to focus treatment on the disease that causes erythromilgia, because if controlled, seizures will be less frequent.
