Abstract:
The authors present a case of symptomatic dermatographia. Dermatographia is an inducible urticaria where the light pressure of scratching leaves a raised wheal in the pattern of the scratching. The presentation can be striking and is often very stressful for the patient; however, the etiology is benign and the key takeaway is to provide reassurance to the patient.
Topics:
Dermatographia, urticaria, dermatology.
