By Sessions

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is deceptively intermittent — and that can mean missed or delayed diagnoses, especially in patients with darker skin where subtle changes are harder to spot.

In a Next Steps in Derm interview at Skin of Color Update, Dr. Mona Shahriari (Yale) calls CSU “the rash that ghosts you” and shares practical tips for recognizing CSU in patients with skin of color.

Watch and learn:

  • How CSU can present differently on darker skin and what to look for
  • What’s new in the CSU toolbox — diagnostic approaches and emerging management strategies
  • Clear, pragmatic recommendations for antihistamine use and when to escalate care

This is essential for those who want to reduce diagnostic delays and improve outcomes in diverse patient populations. Tune in to hear Dr. Shahriari’s insights and actionable takeaways.
