and it's called dermatographia.

Finally! I have a name for it! Dermatographia. I have had this all my life. And never knew what it was. I have had family members ask me what I ate or touched, if I was allergic, tell me I should do this or that, tell me that I have hives again. But they weren't hives! I'm not allergic to anything in that way.

I have dermatographia. =) Of course, saying that out loud just makes me look and sound vulnerable, like this child to be pitied because I have a condition. That's what it sounds like!

Ah, well. I finally have a name for it. *grin*

I've got to look that up now so I can know if I have it.

well i'm sorry it turned out to be an actual condition, but yay! hopefully they know how to treat it in some sort.

Mmm
Conditions. I got one too, though I'm a little less public about it. Did you use WebMD by any chance? That place is fascinating

I almost missed the "L" in public and typed "pubic." That could've been awkward

Ummm.... I got to look that up too as I have no idea what it is!

I've got that too, though, the milder version--not anything hives-y looking.

I used to like to freak out kids in my religion class in high school by writing messages from God or from Satan on my arm and then showing them.

Anyway, dermatographia. Gotta love those small immunological disorders that add a little spice to life.
