Chronic urticaria is a common disorder of unknown origin, which is often associated with normal routine laboratory values and no evidence of systemic disease. Cutaneous vasculitis is one of the rare presentation of chronic urticaria. We reported a 13-year-old female child, who presented to us with tender urticarial wheals all over the body, who on further evaluation was found to have positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and was diagnosed to have urticarial vasculitis.
