• #1 Dermographism

  https://dermnetnz.org/topics/dermographism

  Dermographism is an exaggerated weal and flare response that occurs within minutes of the skin being stroked or scratched. Dermographism is the most common form of physical or chronic inducible urticaria. It is also called dermatographia and dermographic urticaria. […] In 2550% of people, firm stroking of the skin first produces a red flare, then slight swelling along the line of the stroke. In 5% of the population, this response is exaggerated enough to be called dermographism. Only in a minority of cases does it cause symptoms. […] Immediate dermographism presents with linear weals and a surrounding red flare which appears 13 minutes after stroking and resolves in 3060 minutes. […] Dermographism can last for months or years, with idiopathic symptomatic dermographism typically persisting on average for 6 years. Red dermographism can improve within 6 months. Dermographism associated with a recognised trigger such as scabies lasts only days to weeks. Spontaneous resolution is common.

  Dermatographism, also known as dermographism urticaria or urticaria factitia, is a urticarial eruption upon pressure or trauma to the skin. The literal meaning is „to write on the skin.” Downward pressure on the skin produces a linear wheal in the shape of the applied external force. Dermatographism is the most common type of inducible/physical urticaria, occurring in approximately 2% to 5% of the population. A small subset of those with dermatographism becomes symptomatic with pruritus along with the erythematous wheals. […] Dermatographism is the most common type of urticaria, frequently presenting in young adults, with the peak incidence in the second and third decades. […] Dermatographism lesions appear following mechanical trauma to the skin, most consistently stroking of the skin. A wheal forms and develops in approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The wheal persists for about 15 to 30 minutes. The deeper the edema into the dermis, the larger the wheal appears. In symptomatic dermatographism, pruritus accompanies the wheal. The pruritus worsens at night (thought to be related to the pressure of the bedding and sheets contacting the skin) and friction to the area from external stimuli, heat, stress, emotion, and exercise. […] Dermatographism is a benign condition. In a minority of cases, pruritus can accompany the condition. Compared to the other chronic urticarias, symptomatic dermatographism displays the most expedited clearance of the condition after 5 years (36%) and 10 years (51%).

  Dermographism urticaria is the most common subtype of chronic inducible urticaria. The term dermographism (or dermatographism) literally means writing on the skin. Firm stroking, scratching, scrubbing or rubbing of the skin produces an initial red line (capillary dilatation), followed by an axon-reflex flare with broadening erythema (arteriolar dilatation) and the formation of a linear wheal (transudation of fluid/edema); these events are collectively termed the triple response of Lewis. […] An exaggerated response to this constitutional whealing tendency is seen in approximately 2-5% of the population and is referred to as dermographism. In a minority of people, it is accompanied by itching (symptomatic dermographism). […] 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.

  Dermatographism (also known as dermatographia) is a common, benign skin condition in which even a small amount of pressure, like scratching, causes the skin to swell along the line where it was applied. Also called „skin writing,” the condition is not an allergy, though it can resemble an allergy-like rash and cause itching within a matter of minutes. […] The symptoms of dermatographism can vary. In simple dermatographism, people notice swelling and/or redness (erythema) where the skin has been stroked. For example, if they were to write their name on their skin with a fingernail, it would be visible, with raised lettering that is likely sharp and clearly defined.

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

  Dermographism urticaria is the most common subtype of chronic inducible urticaria. The term dermographism (or dermatographism) literally means writing on the skin. Firm stroking, scratching, scrubbing or rubbing of the skin produces an initial red line (capillary dilatation), followed by an axon-reflex flare with broadening erythema (arteriolar dilatation) and the formation of a linear wheal (transudation of fluid/edema); these events are collectively termed the triple response of Lewis. […] An exaggerated response to this constitutional whealing tendency is seen in approximately 2-5% of the population and is referred to as dermographism. In a minority of people, it is accompanied by itching (symptomatic dermographism). […] 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.

  Dermatographia disease, also known as dermographism or urticaria factitia, is a benign medical condition. Did you know that as many as 5% of people can have dermatographia disease? This skin condition causes the body to respond in a unique way. When you scratch or rub the skin lightly, it rises and gets red. These lines look like someone has written on the skin. The cause is unknown, but many think its linked to histamine. This leads to the swelling, redness, and itchiness of dermatographia.

  Dermatographia or dermatographism is a skin condition. Its one of the most common types of inducible urticaria occurring in 2-5% of the population. An urticarial eruption is formed on the application of even mild downward pressure in the form of a linear wheal in the shape of whichever external force is applied. Symptomatic dermatographism is often associated with pruritus, stinging, prickling sensation, and erythematous wheals which is the rarer but more troublesome type of dermatographism. It is idiopathic in nature but often severe at night and aggravated by heat, minor pressure, exercise, stress and emotion, helicobacter pylori, bites, scabies, systemic mastocytosis. An asymptomatic dermatographism is only presented with the formation of wheal in the shape of trauma-induced. […] Formation of erythematous wheals in the form of mechanical trauma induced on the skin even by mild stroking within 5-10 minutes. Except for a very rare type of delayed dermographism where tender urticarial lesion reappears 3 to 8 hours after the initial injury that persists up to forty-eight (48) hours. Wheals can persist anywhere between 15-30 minutes unlike the normal triple response of lewis that subsides within 10 minutes. Deeper edemas into the dermis form larger wheals.
