Diagnosis
Cold urticaria is diagnosed by holding an ice cube against the skin of the forearm for 1 to 5 minutes. A distinct hive should develop if a patient has cold urticaria. This is different than the normal redness that would be seen in people without cold urticaria.
only, i dont break out like that, i have to be placed in a cold room ie..walk in refrigerator, to get a reaction.
