Welcome to Dermatology Times' Spot Test!

Each week, dive into a series of thought-provoking questions designed to test your understanding of essential topics, trends, and breakthroughs in dermatology. This week, we’ll focus on a recent case report, highlighting the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) from possible hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Do you have a set of quiz questions to share? Contact editor Marie Bosslett at [email protected] to contribute.

Which finding would most strongly support a bradykinin-mediated angioedema episode rather than a typical CSU flare?
