Abstract
Introduction: Because of its continuous relapsing pattern and poor response to medication, chronic urticaria has a detrimental impact on sufferers' professional and social lives. Despite research improvements, the origin and cause of the varied intensity and frequency of clinical manifestation remains a mystery. Aim: The goal of this study was to look at the clinical profile of chronic urticaria in a tertiary care setting. Methods: The study comprised patients of both sexes aged 12 to 60 years old with a clinical diagnosis of chronic urticaria for which no cause could be identified using a standard technique. Results: The average age of the patients with chronic urticaria was 30.44 years, and females predominated, with a male to female ratio of 1:3. The average duration of urticaria was 27.84 months, and urticaria lesions disappeared in less than 30 minutes in 48% of patients. In 38 percent of cases, there was accompanied angioedema, and in 46 percent, there was delayed pressure urticaria. Limitations: The study's sample size was tiny, which constituted a constraint. Conclusions: Our study's clinical profile of chronic idiopathic urticaria is comparable to that of prior research. Keywords: Chronic urticaria, chronic idiopathic urticaria, chronic spontaneous urticaria

Summary
Because of its continuous relapsing pattern and poor response to medication, chronic urticaria has a detrimental impact on sufferers' professional and social lives. Methods: The study comprised patients of both sexes aged 12 to 60 years old with a clinical diagnosis of chronic urticaria for which no cause could be identified using a standard technique. Conclusions: Our study's clinical profile of chronic idiopathic urticaria is comparable to that of prior research. Chronic urticaria is defined as urticaria that occurs on a daily or almost daily basis for more than six weeks[1] This is true for all types of urticaria, but it is especially true for the common presentation of urticaria, which is employed after physical, vasculitic, and contact urticarias have been ruled out. Wheals can range in size from a pinprick to a palm-sized or larger lesion[5]. Up to 37% of chronic urticaria patients have delayed pressure urticaria and, on rare occasions, additional physical urticaria[8]
