Dermatographia

Dermatographia, often referred to as "skin writing," is a condition where the skin becomes highly sensitive and reacts to light pressure or scratching. This can cause raised, itchy welts or hives that appear on the skin quickly, typically within minutes. While it can be uncomfortable and is often triggered by factors like stress or temperature changes, dermatographia is usually harmless and temporary. Treatments, such as antihistamines, can help manage symptoms. Individuals with this condition should be mindful of how they touch their skin to minimize reactions.
