Abstract
Urticaria (hives), one of the most common inflammatory skin conditions, is relatively easy to diagnose because of its characteristic skin symptoms, i.e. wheal and flare type skin reactions and/or angioedema. Urticaria, however, actually comprises 12 distinct conditions and it is important and often difficult, to determine which urticaria subform(s) individual patients are afflicted with. The most challenging task in diagnosing urticaria is to identify the underlying causes in chronic urticaria. Yet, this is important as many patients with chronic urticaria can be successfully treated by eliminating the reason for their condition. In contrast, the treatment of virtually all other urticarias is primarily aimed at achieving symptom control, e.g. by avoiding accountable triggers and/or by using symptomatic treatment.
