I've noticed that everytime i pinch (like pimples or scratch my skin gets red and lasts for hours and didn't happened to me before. what could cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitive skin: Allergies as well as many types of atopic dermatitis may cause this over reaction. Many people get this as well to hot showers. It is quite common and nothing to worry about. Your nervous system may be over reactive and you may also have other hypersensitivities. Some people grow calmer with age and grow out of it others become more anxious and have to deal with it their whole life.
