On Urticaria Day, we remember Professor Marcus Maurer (1966–2024), a remarkable leader in the field of dermatology and allergy. His untimely passing on 7 September 2024 has left a profound impact on the global allergy and immunology community. Professor Maurer's contributions to urticaria research were transformative. As Deputy Director of the Institute of Allergology at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Co-Director of Immunology and Allergology at Fraunhofer ITMP, his pioneering work on mast cells, urticaria, and related conditions significantly advanced both scientific understanding and patient care. Through initiatives like GA²LEN, UCARE, and ACARE, he reshaped how urticaria is diagnosed and treated worldwide, providing better outcomes and hope for countless patients. His legacy of leadership, collaboration, and mentorship will continue to inspire future generations. Today, we honour his life’s work and the indelible mark he left on the field of urticaria research. Our thoughts remain with his family, and we hold his memory close. Professor Maurer, your dedication and the „Never give up“ spirit will forever guide us.
🥳Today marks the kickoff of Urticaria Day (UDAY), a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about urticaria worldwide, improve the lives of patients, and enhance understanding among professionals, media, and the public. For the entire month, we will focus on urticaria and, in particular, on the personal experiences of those affected. Would you like to share your story?

Curious about Urticaria? Unravel its mysteries with these valuable sources: - Educational resources. Take advantage of reputable educational resources and websites that provide information about Urticaria, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. - Allergy testing. If your Urticaria is suspected to be caused by allergens, allergy testing may be recommended to identify specific factors that may cause your Urticaria. This can include skin prick tests, blood tests, or patch tests conducted by allergists or immunologists. Chronic Urticaria is very rarely caused by external allergens. However, if your doctor suspects that you may have an allergic urticaria, they will carry out prick tests, patch tests or blood tests.
