Abstract: 【Abstract】 Chronic inducible urticaria is a group of chronic urticaria induced by specific triggers, with wheal and/or angioedema as main clinical manifestations, which may be accompanied by itching, tingling, burning sensation, pain and other unpleasant symptoms. This group of diseases are characterized by highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations, long courses, and recurrent symptoms, which have a great impact on the quality of life of patients. Based on progress in Chinese and international clinical studies on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic inducible urticaria in recent years, the Immunology Group of Chinese Society of Dermatology extensively consulted experts through the Delphi method, and finally developed this consensus after several rounds of discussion among relevant experts, in order to improve clinicians' understanding of this group of diseases and standardize their diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Urticaria, Chronic inducible urticaria, Symptomatic dermographism, Cold contact urticaria, Cholinergic urticaria, Diagnosis, Treatment, Expert consensus
