Overview
Primary Prevention
- Avoidance exposure techniques:
- Avoidance exposure technique consisted of avoiding any factors that may stimulate skin lesions in urticaria patients, such as cold avoidance in cold-induced urticaria.
- It is recommended to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and hot bath just after an episode of urticaria.
- Ask patients with delayed pressure urticaria to avoid sharp edges. Using gel-filled insoles for shoes is another helpful way to prevent delayed pressure urticaria.[1]
