Chronic urticaria is no longer a heartsink diagnosis for treating clinicians, says a leading Australian dermatologist, as new treatments have been shown to be both safe and effective.

Speaking on the Healthed podcast series ‘Dermatology Cases’, Professor Rod Sinclair from the University of Melbourne, said that the fact we now have access to a number of effective treatment options, has meant patients no longer have to persist with resistant symptoms and waste time trying to find the trigger for their urticaria which will prove elusive in most cases.

“It is a management problem not a diagnostic problem,” he said.
