    Urticaria is characterized by transient, pruritic, erythematous, raised wheals with flat tops and edema that usually resolve within 24 hours. Angioedema involves deeper subcutaneous tissues of areas like the eyelids, lips, and hands. Urticaria can be physical, cholinergic, dermatographic, pressure-induced, solar or chronic/idiopathic. Treatment involves antihistamines, H2 blockers, corticosteroids, and epinephrine injections for anaphylaxis. Dermatographia is when writing on the skin causes raised lines.
