Can/is dermagraphism dangerous? mine has been getting worse, to the point the i can feel blood pulsing through the welts.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's not: If that is what you have. Generally it takes a bit of a stimulus, like scratching, to get the redness and swelling of dermaTOgraphism. If you are getting it with virtually no irritation, or spontaneously, it may not be D and you may need to see a dermatologist. If you just got scratched all over and are having a lot of discomfort, antihistamines (like Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) or Cimetidine) can help with them
