  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK531496/

  Dermatographism, also known as dermographism urticaria or urticaria factitia, is a urticarial eruption upon pressure or trauma to the skin. The exact cause of dermatographism is unknown. However, the release of histamine from mast cells is thought to play a role. Dermatographism has been seen in people with diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, menopause, pregnancy, or medication-related conditions. […] Dermatographism is the most common type of inducible/physical urticaria, occurring in approximately 2% to 5% of the population. […] Symptomatic dermatographism is thought to be generally idiopathic, but various explanations have been considered. The higher consensus revolves around Helicobacter pylori, antibiotics such as penicillin, bites, or scabies as the more common presentations to suggest this correlation.

• #2 Dermographism

  https://dermnetnz.org/topics/dermographism

  Dermographism can appear at any age, including children, but onset is most common in young adults. […] The exact mechanism of dermographism is not known. Skin trauma may release an (as yet unidentified) antigen that reacts with the membrane-bound IgE on mast cells triggering release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. […] Dermographism can last for months or years, with idiopathic symptomatic dermographism typically persisting on average for 6 years.

• #3 Dermatographism: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/dermatographism-83236

  Dermatographism is among the most common forms of urticaria, affecting between 2% and 5% of the world’s population. […] The hives and red welts on the skin are thought to occur because of an inappropriate release of histamines as the skin is irritated. […] In addition to scratching, dermatographic urticaria may be caused by tight or abrasive clothes, wristwatches, jewelry, or belts, or the ear stems of eyeglasses. […] Urticaria can also be caused by environmental and health triggers, some of which may co-exist with dermatographism. Examples include: Cold, Exercise, Heat, Infection, Stress, Vibration.

  Some of the triggers that can set off this kind of reaction include scratching of skin, rubbing of the skin as from tight clothing, pressure on the skin as from wrist watch/ belt/any jewelry item, vibration, stress, an infection, cold/heat exposure, exercise, air blowing on the skin causing movement of hair on skin, bathing with warm water and taking some sort of medicines like penicillin. […] Persons having dry skin, those suffering from or having a history of atopic dermatitis (a skin disease that cause inflammation, redness and itching on skin) or allergies, thyroid issues, or family history of this type of urticaria, are at risk. […] Teenagers (13 yrs to 19 yrs) and young adults are most likely to be affected by this skin condition.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1050294-overview

  Dermographism urticaria is the most common subtype of chronic inducible urticaria. The exact mechanism of dermographism remains uncertain. Trauma may release an antigen that interacts with the membrane-bound immunoglobulin E (IgE) of mast cells, which release inflammatory mediators, particularly histamine, into the tissues. This process causes small blood vessels to leak, allowing fluid to accumulate in the skin. Other mediators that may be involved are leukotrienes, heparin, bradykinin, kallikrein, and peptides such as substance P. […] Symptomatic dermographism is usually idiopathic, though it may have an immunologic basis in some patients. Passive transfer of the dermographic response with IgE- or immunoglobulin M (IgM)-containing serum has been reported, but no allergen has been identified.
