Abstract

Delayed pressure urticaria (DPU) is a variant of physical urticaria characterised by reproducible whealing on application of sustained pressure to the skin. Clinical manifestations include delayed cutaneous erythema, edema and subcutaneous swelling, typically occurring 4–6 h after application of mechanical pressure. Dyspareunia is defined as persistent or recurrent pain in the genital area or within the pelvis that occurs just before, during, or after sexual intercourse. We report an unusual case of DPU manifesting as dyspareunia.
