Question
My purpura has been ongoing for several months, and I have many red spots on my body. The doctor advised me to be cautious about my diet. What foods should I avoid if I have allergic purpura?
Answer
Allergic purpura is an autoimmune disease that is not caused by specific drugs or foods. It is an allergic vasculitis that invades the small arteries and capillaries of the skin and other organs. The possible causes may include infectious agents, certain drug effects, allergies, and other factors. The main symptoms are purpura, abdominal pain, joint pain, and renal damage, but platelet counts do not decrease. Patients with allergic purpura should maintain a balanced attitude, keep a positive and optimistic outlook, avoid emotional fluctuations, and prevent insect bites to reduce the occurrence of allergic symptoms.
