Dermographism is actually a subtype of urticaria (hives) which is known by many other names: dermatographism, skin writing and dermographic urticaria. People suffering from dermographism are otherwise healthy unless their disease has some association with pruritus, which can severely affect the life-style of the patient.

Being a type of urticaria, antihistamines are the best drug when it comes to treatment. Following are the most commonly drugs used to treat dermographism: Palgic, Pediatex and Cordron NR but they should not be considered the alternate for the professional’s prescription.

Chinese acupuncture has been also considered to be successful option for dermographism treatment. In this modern age, herbal medicines are still considered to be the good because they do not have a lot of side effects.

These are the treatments for dermographism but some drugs can be troublesome and you must avoid them. I will be talking about that in the next post, due in two days.
