Classification
- Acute urticaria
- Chronic urticaria
- Drug-induced urticaria
- Physical urticarias are often categorized into the following.
- Aquagenic: Reaction to water (rare)
- Cholinergic: Reaction to body heat, such as when exercising or after a hot shower
- Cold (Chronic cold urticaria): Reaction to cold, such as ice, cold air or water
- Delayed Pressure: Reaction to standing for long periods, bra-straps, panty or thong bands, belts
- Dermatographic: Reaction when skin is scratched (very common)
- Heat: Reaction to hot food or objects (rare)
- Solar: Reaction to direct sunlight (rare)
- Vibration: Reaction to vibration (rare)
- Adrenergic: Reaction to adrenaline / noradrenaline (extremely rare)
