What is
chronically induced urticaria?
Chronic induced urticaria is a form of urticaria that is triggered by repeated stimuli such as cold, heat, pressure or sunlight. Itchy skin rashes (wheals) develop regularly and last for a long time. This chronic skin condition can severely affect quality of life and often requires targeted treatment to control the symptoms.
What are the causes of chronically induced urticaria?
Around two thirds of people who suffer from urticaria have so-called spontaneous urticaria, where no specific triggers for the skin disease can be identified. In contrast, inducible urticaria is clearly triggered by physical stimuli. For various sufferers, these stimuli can be light, extreme temperatures (cold or hot) or pressure, for example from tight-fitting clothing or carrying bags on the shoulders.
