It's best to see an allergist, they can do an ice cube test, also standing outside in a cool breeze, or touching cold water. These will definately bring on a reaction.

Skin test with ice cube

Unfortunately not many know about this. In my case, I was diagnosed by being able to show images and describe the conditions that were causing the reactions and my allergist was happy to diagnose me based of this information. Some are tested by having a cold compress placed on their arm for a period of time to instigate a reaction.
If you have cold urticaria, then you definately start joining the dots fairly quickly. Over time things are no longer a coincidence.
Allergists and GP's are really important here and if they haven't heard of the condition, go in armed with information, photos and a diary if possible to assist your reasoning.

ice cube test on skin

An Allergist is the only personal I know of who can diagnose Cold Urticaria. In my experience the only way to diagnose Cold Urticaria is through the Ice Cube test, where an ice cube is placed on the arm of the patient for about 10 minutes to cause a reaction.

Ice cube test / dermatology/allergist

ice cube test is the most common testing used to diagnose this disease, its very important to find a allergist or specialist that is familiar with this disease. Once you see your allergist or specialist they will most likely send u for bloodwork and additional testing to try and figure out what caused this to start
