Delayed pressure urticaria is a mechanical urticaria in which pressure causes whealing. Delayed cutaneous erythema and edema occur in association with marked subcutaneous swelling after the application of a sustained pressure stimulus to the skin. The earliest reports and theories of the pathogenesis of delayed pressure urticaria are summarized. Detailed attention is given to making the diagnosis by taking a history and provoking the lesions. The clinical features and natural history are considered. The effects of the disorder on quality of life are delineated, and management strategies are suggested.
