🌟 Dive into the fascinating world of dermatology with Dr. Brainwaves! 🌟 In this eye-opening episode, join Dr. Susan Raschal and Dr. Rena Azar as they unravel the mysteries of a unique skin condition - Delayed Pressure Urticaria. 🤔💡

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Raschal takes the lead to explain this not-so-typical urticaria, affecting 20% of the population. Discover why it's unlike the usual itchy bumps and why it earned the name "delayed pressure urticaria." 🚨

🕰️ Picture this: you apply pressure, and instead of an immediate reaction, the swelling makes a grand entrance 3-8 hours later! 😱 That's the peculiarity of this condition. Dr. Raschal sheds light on the diagnostic sandbag test - a heavy object strapped for 15 minutes, revealing the delayed reaction.

🛠️ Mechanics, listen up! 🧑‍🔧 Dr. Rena Azar points out careers like mechanics, where prolonged pressure can unknowingly lead to swelling later on. Imagine working under a car, only to realize the consequences hours after leaving the garage.

💊 But here's the catch - antihistamines might not be the superhero here! 😬 Dr. Raschal unravels the complexity and shares that oral steroids take the stage. Yet, with great power comes great responsibility - prolonged use may bring about side effects like diabetes and osteoporosis. It's a delicate balance.

🤯 Brace yourselves for the frustrating reality - not much research is dedicated to this condition due to its rarity. 🌐 However, Dr. Azar reassures us that there's hope and upcoming episodes will delve into less vexing types of urticaria with actionable solutions.
