Abstract

Dermatographism and cold-induced urticaria are two common physical urticarias. Traditional treatment with antihistamines has been somewhat effective in alleviating symptoms; however, the sedative side effects of the agents pose problems. Results of treatment with the new low-sedating H1 antihistamines have been encouraging.
