Abstract:
A variety of environmental stimuli, such as vibration, ultraviolet radiation, and exposure to water, are recognized as causes of "physical urticaria." A medical student, participating in a demonstration of a galvanic device used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, demonstrated urticaria in response to this galvanic stimulation.
