Are there any sufferers from this disease? If so, what are your symptoms?
Have been diagnosed with this diseave but my symptoms don't match what I
read in the internet. This is the second dermatologist I see, the first one
I saw said I had eczema.

I had a version of this over the summer. I thought it was an allergic
reacton because I itched a lot and I had a blotch on my back that the doctor
said was a mastocytoma. He gave me antihistamines for 3 weeks, which
lightened it, but it is still there. My skin is not as sensitive, though.

Thanks for the reply. Yes Dermatographism is supposed to cause itching,
however, I have no itching, only rashes that burn. This is what the
dermatologist diagnosed me as having. I have a feeling that I'm being
misdiagnosed again.
I wanted to know if may be other people would have the same symptoms than me
and being diagnosed with Dermatographism.

I would imagine there is something else that is causing the dermatographism.
In my case it was allergies & a mastocytoma.

Symptons: constant itching (for me mostly on my neck/chest, scalp, face
and arms), constant tickling under the skin, skin breaking out in hives
from contact or temperature change, hives are not as big, and go away
faster, and don't itch as much if on some type of allergy meds. Little
things bother my skin like a small piece of my hair hanging on to my face
or shoulder.
Treatments: Zyertc , Benydiril (both too drowzy), Claritin (didn't work)
and others...currently Allegra 180mg am and 60mg pm..and counting..I seem
to need more and more as time goes on..original dose of Allegra was 180mg
in am.
