Overview
There are numerous types of urticaria. Based on the way wheals appear, they can be divided into spontaneous and physical urticaria. Spontaneous urticaria is further divided into acute and chronic urticaria, based on their duration. Mechanical forces and pressure on the skin or the ambient air temperature are responsible factors in development of physical urticaria, which can be divided into more subtypes, such as dermographic urticaria, delayed pressure urticaria, cold contact urticaria, heat contact urticaria, solar urticaria and vibratory urticaria. Besides these two main classes of urticaria there are other particular types such as, cholinergic urticaria, adrenergic urticaria, aquagenic urticaria, contact urticaria, Drug-induced urticaria.
Classification
- Spontaneous urticaria[1]
- Acute urticaria: Spontaneous appearance of wheals, most days in a period less than 6 weeks.
- Chronic urticaria: Spontaneous appearance of wheals with more than 6 weeks duration.
- Chronic continuous: Involvement in every days or most days.
- Chronic recurrent: There are symptom free intervals.
- Physical urticaria[1]
- Dermographic urticaria: Appearance of wheals 1-5 minutes after a mechanical shearing force.
- Delayed pressure urticaria: Appearance of wheals 3-8 hours after a vertical pressure.
- Cold contact urticaria: Appearance of wheals due to cold temperature, such as ice and cold air, water or wind).
- Heat contact urticaria
- Solar urticaria: Appearance of wheals due to sunlight/ultraviolet light.
- Vibratory urticaria: Appearance of wheals due to vibratory forces, such as pneumatic hammer.
- Cholinergic urticaria: Usually due presents due to exercise or after a hot shower.
- Adrenergic urticaria
- Aquagenic urticaria
- Contact urticaria (allergic or pseudoallergic)
- Drug-induced urticaria
