What is the most effective treatment for dermatographism?
2 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Dermatographism: The treatment involves finding the right dosage and type of antihistamine in order to suppress the itching and the hives that develop. For many people, prescribed antihistamines will help control the problem. However, antihistamines are not a cure for this skin problem. In fact, currently there is no known cure or remedy. Suffers may need to stay on antihistamines for many years to avoid symptoms.
