What is the prevalence of Cold Urticaria?
How many people does Cold Urticaria affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
3% of urticaria is cold induced urticaria.
So far it seems to be a rare conditon and not many, incuding medical professionals have heard of it. I often wonder if the incidence would be higher because many go undiagnosed.
Children tend to suffer from the herditary form, but adults are more likely to have an issue with late onset/secondary urticaria

The number is largely unknown. I have heard 1 for every 100,000 urticaria cases, which that in itself isn't a good idea of how rare Cold Urticaria is.

My understanding is that it is .05% of the population
