| Credit for the first skin testing goes to Charles H. Blackley, who in 1865 abraded a quarter-inch area of his skin with a lancet, applied grass pollen on a piece of wet lint, and covered the scarified area with an occlusive bandage. This resulted in intense itching and a very large cutaneous response. This brief article presentsx the history, types, devices, scoring and other aspects of skin testig. | |||||

| Eczema (E) (also called atopic dermatitis (AD)) is an inflammatory, chronically relapsing, non-contagious and extremely pruritic skin disease. The discussion about pathogenesis of this disease is mirrored by the different names that it has been given ("prurigo Besnier," "neurodermitis," "endogenous eczema," etc.). Atopy is a strikingly common finding in these patients. The Nomenclature Task Force of the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) proposed the term the Atopic Eczema/Dermatitis Syndrome (AEDS) for this disease, since IgE is not a prerequisite in all patients. The World Allergy Organization 2003 Nomenclature Task force recommended that under the umbrella term dermatitis, eczema is now the agreed term to replace the transitional term atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS). Atopic eczema is eczema with demonstrable IgE association | |||||
Urticaria and Angioedema: Synopsis | |||||

| Urticarial lesions itch, have a central white wheal that is elevated, and are surrounded by an erythematous halo. The lesions are typically rounded and circumscribed. Characteristically, hives should blanch with pressure; they generally resolve within 24 hours, leaving no residual change to the skin. The redness, which is augmented by local neural reflexes, is due to dilated blood vessels in superficial layers of the skin; the wheal is due to leakage of these vessels as fluid extravasates and compresses the vessels beneath it so that the central area appears clear. | |||||
