Neat and clean with: a pleasant disposition is the way to go.  That will bring more light to our world than a lighter face. Please don't measure your self-worth by skin color.

and please is there any home remedy cure?

Accepted Answer

Dermatographism: This dermatographism, or skin writing, is akin to having hives and the cause is usually elusive. It may resolve on its own. In the meantime think of anything you recently ate or took that could have triggered this skin reactivity. For relief take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy). In my experience, hydroxyzine is most effective(causes drowsiness,need script)
