Swollen skin when scratched, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not serious: It is possible that you have something called chronic urticaria or dermatographism. It is best if you see a dermatologist for an evaluation and some tests. This is not serious but it is important to know if you have this as you might have other allergic reactions in the future.
