Urticaria is a skin condition that is categorized based on the duration of symptoms and the presence or absence of triggers. Urticarial vasculitis, contact urticaria, and special syndromes fall under the broader classification of urticaria. In recent years, there has been progress in understanding the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria, with the discovery of autoantibodies to mast cell receptors in almost 50% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria. These patients often require more aggressive therapies due to the severity of their condition. However, laboratory tests for chronic urticaria usually do not reveal significant findings, and there is no clear association between urticaria and chronic infections or cancer.Treatment for urticaria usually involves the use of first- and second-generation histamine H1 receptor antihistamines. For more severe and persistent cases, additional therapy may include leukotriene receptor antagonists, corticosteroids, and immunomodulatory agents. Despite advancements in understanding the pathogenesis of urticaria, it remains a frustrating condition for many patients, particularly those with chronic urticaria. Although there have been advancements in understanding the pathogenesis of urticaria, the condition can still be challenging to manage, and patients may require multiple treatments to achieve relief of their symptoms. Additionally, the psychological impact of chronic urticaria should not be overlooked, as it can significantly affect patients' quality of life. As such, a multidisciplinary approach to management, including education and psychological support, can be beneficial in treating patients with urticaria.
