What is Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria?

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is an unpredictable and debilitating skin condition which can affect daily life in many ways, including sleep deprivation, mood, and relationships.

The physical symptoms of CSU can have an enormous impact on daily living, but the effects of CSU also can have a huge impact on mental health, affecting mood and general well-being.

Allergy UK has created an educational video to support people with this skin condition and to raise awareness for others suffering without a diagnosis and manageable treatment.
