Case Two Continued<br />

Further questioning reveals that Ms. Jennings’s<br />

urticaria is worse with exercise, rubbing of the skin,<br />

pressure (i.e. develops lesions at the site of her<br />

purse strap on her shoulder), and embarrassment.<br />

She also describes that most of the time she does<br />

not notice an association with any potential<br />

triggers.<br />

Her lesions appear 2-3x/week, often in public. She<br />

is particularly embarrassed when lesions appear<br />

on her face while taking care of patients.
