The full breakdown of what this is and how to manage it is laid out on this site:

Take care! 🙂

Thanks

Hey everyone.
So, I’m a seventeen-year-old guy—turning eighteen shortly—and I've recently been diagnosed with dermatographism. It’s honestly quite irritating; if I even slightly scratch my arm, the skin turns bright red, leaves these distinct marks, and starts itching like crazy. 😳

Is there actually anything I can do to fix this, or at least find a way to make my skin a little less hypersensitive?
