    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Allergy

    Background:

    • Contact urticaria (CU) is an immediate wheal response to diverse contactants.
    • Contactants are categorized by mechanism: nonimmunologic, allergic, and unknown.
    • The incidence of CU is increasing, with more triggers being identified.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the mechanisms and clinical significance of contact urticaria.
    • To highlight the expanding list of known contact urticaria triggers.
    • To emphasize the potential for systemic reactions in allergic CU.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of contact urticaria.
    • Categorization of contactant mechanisms.
    • Analysis of systemic reaction patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Contact urticaria triggers are diverse and increasing.
    • Preservatives in food and pharmaceuticals are potential widespread triggers.
    • Allergic CU and other physical urticarias can manifest with systemic reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Contact urticaria is a recognized and growing dermatologic condition.
    • Awareness of systemic reactions is vital, especially during patch testing.
    • Further attention to CU from preservatives is warranted due to widespread exposure.
