Urticarial responses in skin may be elicited in different ways, viz, stroking (dermographism), after sustained pressure (delayed pressure urticaria), and after vibration (vibratory angio‐oedema). Pressure may localise lesions of chronic idiopathic urticaria. Trauma may exacerbate hereditary angio‐oedema. The extent of the morbidity caused by trauma‐induced urticaria among workers is unknown.
