Cold urticaria, a skin reaction to cold, primarily affects young women and is diagnosed via an ice cube test. Treatment can be challenging, with antihistamines and other medications offering variable relief.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Cold urticaria involves skin reactions like hives and swelling after cold exposure.
  • It predominantly affects young women, with diagnosis often relying on patient history and the ice cube test.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the characteristics, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of cold urticaria.
  • To highlight diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of cold urticaria, encompassing clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria, including the ice cube test and its limitations for systemic cases.

Main Results:

  • Cold urticaria presents with various reactions to cold, with idiopathic cases being most common.

  • Effective treatment is often difficult, with variable responses to H1 antihistamines; combination therapy or alternative drugs like doxepin and leukotriene receptor antagonists show promise.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of cold urticaria requires careful history and testing, with awareness of potential systemic involvement.
    • Management of cold urticaria is challenging, necessitating individualized treatment plans and patient education regarding risks, such as swimming in cold water.
