Ice cube test
Ice cube test is recommended as a diagnostic test in order to diagnose cold-induced urticaria. This test is performed by applying a plastic bag containing melting ice cubes on the patient's forearm for 5 minutes. Appearance of wheal within 10 minutes after removing the plastic bag is considered a positive test.[1]
