Vibratory angioedema (Q87626)

Vibratory angioedema is a rare type of physical skin reactivity in which vibration from stimuli such as jogging, vigorous towelling or contact with vibrating machinery causes the rapid development of localised erythema and oedema; these normally settle within a few hours. The condition is usually familial but may be sporadic. It may be associated with other forms of physical urticaria.
