Skin returns to its normalappearances usually within 1-24 hours. Urticaria is sometimes accompanied by angioedema, in which the edematous processextends into the deep dermis and / or subcutaneous tissues. While patient with urticaria usually have symptoms confined to theskin they may have concomitant systemic manifestations. Urticaria is termed acute when episode less than 6 weeks, it’s termedchronic when episode persist longer.
