This is different from skin prick testing (which gives a positive response in 15 minutes) in that it is a delayed hypersensitivity response (positive response in about 48 hours).

If an acute skin rash is poorly responsive to antihistamines, acute urticaria is less likely than allergic contact dermatitis.

 Disease of the Epidermis
Recently other autoantigens have been demonstrated in subepidermal blistering diseases of the dog (Olivry, GEDAC 1996).
In recent years it has, however, become obvious that it represents a dynamic structure that actively participates in the reactivity of the skin to injury.
Histopathologic evaluation of primary vesicles or pustules is, however, of critical importance since pathognomonic changes can often not be seen in secondary ulcerative lesions.
