Anyone know of easier ways to cope with dermatographism?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dermatographism: Avoid very hot baths, which seem to sensitize the skin. Common antihistamines - avoid those that make you drowsy- can help. Some sufferers sought acupuncture therapy successfully. Anecdotally, small amounts of alcohol ingestion on a daily basis have helped some sufferers.

Dermatographia: Try to avoid pressure situation which cause you to break out. Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) when you break out.
