I have been writing on urticaria and hives for quite sometime and now it is time for Dermographism which literally means writing on the skin.

It is pretty strange that people in this modern age still have misconceptions about this problem. If you are a tattoo lover, it might sound fascinating to you, but let me tell you it’s the last thing to fancy because of the itching and pain.

It is known by many different names i.e. dermographic, dermatographism or skin writing. It is a common type of urticaria; a skin problem in which the skin becomes raised, especially when it is scratched, rubbed ferociously, stroked, or sometimes even slapped.
