Guys, I had a break through. This may be something called “Prickly Heat”. Try putting on some hydrocortisone cream for a couple days and see what happens. It seems to be working for me. If it seems to help, ask your doctor to prescribe some stronger cream.
I read through the comments section and felt a lot of empathy. I would like to thank you all for sharing your stories. I was diagnosed today with cholinergic urticaria, the one caused due to changes in room temperature or elevated emotions. I know its going to ruin my life just like it did yours. Let's try our best to face it and do the things we can do and want to do, otherwise life won't be worth it. I wish you all well from the bottom of my heart and always remember that you are stronger than your petty allergy!
I’ve had this for years and found the cure for me. It’s working out and breaking a good sweat first thing in the morning. For the first 5-10 minutes of my workout I feel the burn and get redness but it’s worth it to go the rest of the day as normal. I’ve had periods when I’ve been to the gym consistently with no days off and didn’t suffer any flare at all. I must’ve wiped out the histamines / triggers or something. Hope this helps.
I have dermatographism. It started in May slowly and no one knew what it was. From May to September I was constantly trying new medications, being given injections almost every night because I couldn't sleep. The itchiness never stopped. The most sleep I could get was 3h per night. I have never felt worse and more depressed than that summer. Now I'm trying to get used to it, some medicine is helping but nothing lasts for long. It's calmed down since the summer but it still makes me miserable. Plus doctors telling me there's really nothing I can do, they tell me to not stress. This disease is slowly ruining me and no one really understands it unless they have it.
Same, I keep reminding myself I'll break out into systemic hives if I scratch anything. Zyrtec helps me manage, but it's not bullet proof. 5 months of desensitization aka allergy shots - immunotherapy, treatments are the only thing that truly made a difference. Now it's a manageable condition, but I have my back up prednisone and epipens for emergencies.
I faithfully take a Zyrtec daily, but I initially took an allergy test to find what triggers me the most because I have severe allergies on top of this drama as well as eczema. I find that too much bread dairy and sugar really exacerbate this issue. Also when my immunity is down it's more of a struggle as well... Whatever y'all do STAY HYDRATED and away from too much soda.
I was diagnosed with chronic urticaria almost 4 years ago now. Ive been taking prescription antihistamines the whole time, 1 every 12 hours, god forbid I miss one. I got told it might never go away or it might one day just disappear. It seems to just get worse every year, causing eczema from itching so much now it's so painful can't ever touch my face without flaring up. Can't even wear make up anymore. I feel for anyone going through the same thing. More research needs to be done, it's so unheard of by everyone I know.
Also going on almost 4 years now, it started as simple but became symptomatic over time and i have about 30 different triggers that occur in my day to day life which makes it very hard to live with. I take 50mg antihistamine 3x a day and i still get it. These past few months it has been exponentially worse.
Same here, been 5 yrs actually. Started after a miscarriage. I don’t take meds, I try to deal with it. Worse in winter, better in summer. Sometimes if it’s unbearable I’ll take an Allegra. Been trying to get to the root cause all this time. Seems to be getting worse. In pain right now because I guess I had a cookie earlier with cinnamon and molasses and ginger?? Sigh….
I can relate so much, I started having dermatographism when i was really young but it went awway until i was 11 years old? I'm now 13 i don't even know what to do anymore :(

After facing dermatagraphy for 4 months, now I fully recovered. I am very thankful to Allah. I strictly avoided all those things which my doctor suggested not to consumed.
I have had this same thing happening to me for about a month now. I itch so much all over. Can’t sleep can’t really do nothing because of it. I went to urgent care one night because of the itch and the burn. They gave me a steroid shot and prednisone and Zyrtec. Was on those meds for about a week and was feeling great. Once the meds were gone it came right back even worse. I hate this it’s really ruining my everyday life. I have a doctors appointment in 2 days to find out what it is. I wouldn’t wish this much pain on my worse enemy.
@@c2h2a2d Yes it’s Chronic Urticaria. I’m doing fine thanks for asking. Started my Zolare shots in December. It’s been great so far. Got 8 more shots to go.
When I first started to experience this, it was unbearable. I couldn’t do things properly because of the itching. Had to take some medicines that made me sleepy all the time. But after 3-4 years, I just get used to it. It is not easy but it is still beautiful. I think I have this skin condition for a reason.
I freaking hate this illness! I remember it starting 4 months ago at night and it never stopped! I have to take a medication that makes me tired daily. Whenever I don’t, it will come back powerful then ever. I really hate it. I feel like it’s changed my life. I wish I can just scratch an itchy spot without having to worry about this horrific illness! It’s ugly and disappointing!
I know what you mean, I developed mine over the summer. Not only does my skin flare up but it itches so much and can be pretty painful. I take a simple allergy pill every day to stop the inflammation. I do hope it gets better and know you’re not alone.
I had cold urticaria.... mine slowly went away so there is always hope. I probably had it from 94 to 04.....I never was treated by a doctor... just learned to live with it. I'm so glad that I no longer suffer from CU.
I had Dermatographism since summer of 2019. I was freaking out since it started randomly and remember watching this vid to figure out what's going on. I was especially frustrated because I'm a POC and couldn't fine anyone who looked like me with the same problem. So i was even more worried. I have it under control now, talked with my Allergy Doctor, and not really embarrassed about it any more so if you guys have any questions maybe i can help.
@@varadharaju0264 bro you take antihistamine for temporary solution. I've been taking anti histamine now more than one year. I'm so frustrated I'm trying out ayurvedic remedy if it works!

@@kevindaos459 I have Cholinergic Urticaria, and this also works for me. It's not a cure, but an extremely effective treatment. I'm not sure how this would work with other Urticaria's, but who knows?
Alejandro Ramirez yeah you’re right mate, it’s not a cure - just a way of keeping control of it. I’d like to think it does work for everyone. And if not I hope they find a way to control it for them 🙏
You’re speaking as a person who has experienced these hives or as a person who has not experienced this? Because as a person who is currently experiencing chronic urticaria I can tell you that it does not matter if this is itching or not, the red, inflamed markings are embarrassing so to say that it’s not bothersome is a huge mistake.
It also makes cuts open up more so the scarring is worse. Weals from brushing or rubbing against something like clothing can then easily become grazes as the skin is more delicate when its all puffy and inflamed like that already
I was diagnosed with dermatographism when i was 12yrs old.(My dermatologist gave me antihistamine,cetacort lotion, and Avene Trixera nutrition which doesn't help at all) After a while my body adapts the hives,itchiness and the rashes. My dermatologist doesn't help at all.. She failed to recognize my illness (which i didn't expect for a professional dermatologist) After couple of years i still have it. The most important thing to consider is Don't Panick.
What % of the population have life threatening dermatagraphia? I go into full blown anaphylaxis if mine is left untreated/unchecked. I was attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes, even while wearing repellent, and unknown to me at the time I had dermatagraphia. Naturally, I scratched all over and within 45 minutes I was in the ER. 2 Epi-Pens, a benadryl drip, prednisone, along with other medications I can't remember, saved my life! Now my dermatagraphia is worse than ever. I need zyrtec everyday or I start to flare up into eventual anaphylaxis. Fun times, but I suspect I'm something like 1% of the 1-3% of people who have this as a life threatening condition. Just curious, thanks!
I’m so sorry you are going through this! It sounds so terrible and scary! I have dermagraphism urticaria with unknown cause but I never had anaphylactic episode. I get redness and itchy like stripes and cuts on my body. I try to follow a low histamine diet. This helps somewhat. Lower your daily histamine load.
I cure it permanently without any medicines ...modern science will not cure it ..do pranayama and yoga and dnt take antihistamines.iy will ruin Ur life..our body is self healing and one more thing when harmones imbalance then this happen do anulom vilom 30 mins in morning u will get results In 30 days
@@trickplus5262 Just take an Allegra in the morning and one at night. Or take it in the morning and a zertec at night. When you feel like its getting better (maybe after a month or 2) try going a month without medicine an see the results. I've had it for more than a year now and been talking to my Doctor so let me know if you have questions. I got mines under control
Thanks that I found this video, I think i have Dermatographism, I've had it before in my teenage years, it was fun before because i can write at my skin, ang my friends were so amazed too, but it wasn't worst, it's itching but it's bearable... Then suddenly it goes away and I became totally normal... Then now that I'm in my late 20's it came back and it's the worst! 😭 It never let's me sleep peacefully at night, just a simple scratch in my skin can become huge because it's so itchy and burning that i can't help but to scratch again, then it's forever... 😭😭😭 It's so stressful... Then i accidentally eat seafood which is I'm allergic to, i had to take antihistamine, then i realized that my skin writing became mild at that moment, and I thought that maybe it's skin allergy or something so I've been taking antihistamines at least once or twice a day now, not unless i forgot and I'll definitely suffer the entire day... Now I watched this, and became a little educated about my condition, at least now I know that I'm not the only one having this... Some people are saying that maybe i have a dirty blood that's why i have this... 😅😭
Thanks so much for the video - the information provided is most helpful. I find myself at times consumed with this problem - the direction provided is greatly appreciated.
I hate this!! Every time I use a towel, every time I clap my hands, every time someone touches me too hard, every time I jump in a pool, every time I enter an air conditioned room or leave and air conditioned room, every time I run, every time I drink alcohol, every time I shiver I get like 20 minutes of pure itchy torture!! I could scratch my skin open and the worst is, scratching increases the hives 😭😭😭 I feel done!! My friends can tell whether it will be cold later in the day by just looking at my skin and whether or not I'm getting a rash. I thought it was weird but it's so true!

I have Cholinergic Urticaria and in gym class I constantly had to go to the nurse and apply antihistamine and cool down. I also have cold induced urticaria so it's pretty hard for me to not be breaking out
Mine started in early September with pain in my fingers and feet, like a burning sensation. I felt bruised and injured even though there were no marks. And then 5 weeks ago I developed the lumps, itching, it got worse two weeks ago. My lips swelled, it felt like someone was pulling my lips off. I get pains in my stomach, I'm losing 5ibs and gaining 5ibs, up and down since first week of September. After I've eaten food I feel severe pains in different parts of my abdomen. Sometimes I have nausea to the point where I eat nothing all day or once a day. I have an 8 yr old tattoo on my wrist and blood came up under the tattoo like it was trying to burst out. I don't have periods because I'm on depo, but everyday I feel like I'm bleeding even though blood doesn't come out. Wearing clothes, underwear, socks and shoes became uncomfortable and sometimes painful to wear. I had blood tests yesterday, 6 vials of blood to be tested. She named all the tests but cant remember what they're testing for.
My 15 years old daughter going through this for last 7 months everyday, it's a nightmare, we first didn't know what was causing it, doctor gave her steroid also prednisone but she wasn't getting better instead her hives went worse. We got her tested for allergy and found out she is extremely allergic to grass pollen, even though its winter she is still getting hives because her ige level is extremely high to grass pollen even when she is indoor all day she gets hive and it's extremely itchy. I give her antihistamines tablets every. im scared what will these antihistamines tablets do to her in the long term, I have no other option but to give her the tablets.
I'm 18 years old i started having this after a cold sickness when I was 17, i can feel what your daughter is going through, it is really miserable. Have you find any permanent solution for your daughter?
If you still have it give this a try, it sure works for me for a few hours. Half a teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda in half a glass of water. You might know it better as baking soda. You're mother will probably have some in the pantry. Doesn't taste nice but it works great for me and I've had it for years. Good luck.
Started intermittent fasting 6 months ago. IF is amazing if you haven't committed to it yet. But.... Hives appeared 2 weeks after starting. Figured it would go away since my body was detoxing from 5 years of junk food. Here we are with hives almost everyday! From what I've been reading for months it's related to the gut health. I'm not a doctor, but it seems to disappear for those who do a strick diet change. Especially and most recently those who stick with a carnivore diet for NO LESS than 10-12 weeks. Helps reset your gut. I'm definitely going to try it starting next week. I Love my veggies but finding out most of my favs are high in histamine such as spinach and avocados. Yea it sucks! I've only started this week keeping a food log. I'm also scheduled to see a natural path doc next month. This will be interesting. Stay cool and don't scratch friends! P.S. - Oatmeal baths are a God send!
@@alexaonther0x Doctors wanted to put me on pills, NO. I've kept to the healthy eating, low histamine diet and very few drinks. It went away on its own. I couldn't correlate with any type of vitamin, food or environmental with my logs. I've concluded it was my body detoxing from years of bad habits and processed foods. I feel great with a healthier lifestyle and eating less food. Obviously the answer to cure all or most things is consuming good natural healthy clean foods and being committed to yourself. Organic makes a difference.
@@RevealerOfNow but a lot of the healthier foods (fruits and veggies) contain histamine. What's a typical meal look like for you? I was actually thinking about going vegetarian again
@@ufuomaoribabor4728 Yes, stuck to organic quality foods and intermittent fasting. I'm actually on OMAD (one meal a day). Hives have not returned. I found that a majority of the "regular foods (gmo)" have a ridiculous amount of heavy metals in them. I've significantly reduced this by going organic.
Almost every night I breakout with mosquito like bites, that itch uncontrollablly.. they are gone by the morning. I found the calamine lotion really helps! This has been going on for a couple months. I'm assuming I have urticaria
Thank you for sharing. I had this when I was 7 years old. Im now 27 and it has started again. Last week I got a cold, and was given a medication called Gelodurat to help with my sinusitis. In combination to this I was extremely stressed out at work last week. I am now itchy all over my body, when I sleep, when I shower.. whenever I do anything. It's horrible. Antihistamines don't seem to be helping. Gelodurat can cause urticaria. I read this in the SmPc after I tried to work out what I had taken during the week i was sick. It's now been 10 days where I am extremely itchy and so fed up it's causing me so much grief. The issue I'm having is I love in Switzerland and I don't know how to explain this issue to my doctor..
babeoss Guys, I had a break through. This may be something called “Prickly Heat”. Try putting on some hydrocortisone cream for a couple days and see what happens. It seems to be working for me. If it seems to help, ask your doctor to prescribe some stronger cream.
Just take Rhus Tox C 200 once daily, (2 drops) for a week. Based on the fact it gets worse from bathing. Add Histamine C1000 once every month for a year.
It's literally the worst. As a profession I'm a personal trainer and bootcamp trainer. So there is no escaping the hives what so ever, since I'm doing physical activity almost everyday. For me the desloratatine works, but I already need to take 2 or more daily. I switch it up with Levocetirizine every half a year. 'Cus my body gets used to it. - It took me so long to figure out what it was.
stress causes dermatographism, when my sister passed away, that very day i was lost, screaming crying etc...that same night i was all covered with red lines, swalen and red. it was horible, after some time it was less and less, today after 30 years its still there if i scratch my skin, but not that much, and yes...i i get stressed, or frightened, it comes bad on touch
For 13 years now i have suffered with this, always afraid to even be with people in public becasue when it get worse people turn to look at me like im an alien 😭😭😭
Kind of comforting to read comments from people suffering from similar conditions. I have cholinergic urticaria, meaning I get super itchy/burning skin when my body temp raises. Walking into a building that's warmer than outside is literally enough for an attack. Obviously no sports. Walking uphill etc it's terrible I absolutely hate it. Had this for for about 13 years now, no end in sight, in fact it recently got worse which is why I'm here.
k0walsk I hate walking into buildings and breaking out trying to hide it from people. I went to a bank to talk to someone and I ended the convo early cause I felt like breaking out. I hate it soooo much
Ugh I have this too. It's torture. Can't exercise or over exert myself. I also have been diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria and dermatographism and nearly everything seems to cause a flare up. I suffer everyday. Even cold weather gives me hives now and wearing tight clothes. But the heat and sweating seem to be the worst. I feel like I'm self destructing. Just taking a shower (any temperature of water) causes huge welts all over my body. As does sweat. Even if I cry my face will become red and patchy and my lips and eyelids will swell up. It's a nightmare. Can't catch a break lol... Doctors don't have answers and just dismiss me 🤷♀️
@@alexaonther0x @Universe Droplet Oh man that is one rough combination. Sorry to hear you're having to deal with that. My hives have quieted down quite a bit since my last comment, thankfully. I even cycle to work now. I flare up every time, but it's manageable. Hope you'll find some relief soon too!
I used to have this when I was younger... especially as a teen. Now its returned (Im 50 now) and my suspects of cause is one of these... Changing from plant based to meat based diet Two viruses possibly triggering epstein barr (covid was 1, maybe both) Hormones/perimenopause
I've suffered from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria and Dermatographism. The type of Dermatographism I had was delayed. So the allergist would test me for it to see if I would welt up but I wouldn't. Then about 10 hours later, my skin would welt up & itch. I would call my allergist the following day to let them know the test was actually positive, it just took hours to show up. It was horrible. I would get it from clothes too. Awful.
Me. It just develop last year. Is it possible to go away in due time or this will stay forever? Dermatographism with itchiness. It stresses me out everytime!
There are not enough treatment methods about chronic urticaria, it's very sad 😭😭 I've had chronic urticaria for about 2 years and it happens every day, it's so bad please help.
Bro try intemate fasting. I did intemate fasting for 6months i realise that my hives are gone but take some anti histamine for first month then cutoff the 💊 .and continue with intemate fasting. Be patient. It will help you . Just try it and then thank god
I've been experiencing hives for about 2 years along with stomach problems like vomiting bloated stomach diarrhea I get cold sweats. And something that was mentioned in the thread breaking a sweat by exersing even a fast paced walk can feel good like spearheading right into the anxioisness although I would most likely vomit a few times
I also had this. It was the gmo's ( genetically modified food).. Try eating organic food. At least the fruits and vegetables you eat the most. For me it was bananas and carrots. I still eat non-organic just not a lot. Lets face it organic is expensive.
I am taking antihistamine since 6 years initially i was allergic to few foods now they are increasing in number I cant even skip a day without taking drugs My life had become like hell
I have been diagnosed with dermatographia for years now and it’s the worst. I get flicked, bump my wrist on a counter, itch a scratch and then 25 seconds later I have huge red welts that itch worse then a million bug bites. The more I scratch the more it itches and then I scratch more. I’ve learned to almost live with this and try to ignore the itchiness (especially after a shower or laying down for bed) but I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice or suggestions for me to get rid of this crap. Thank you any and all advice is appreciated.
I’ve been suffering from this as well for many years and finally started to try and find out the root cause and cure bc no medical professional can offer any advice beyond taking an allergy pill everyday. It seems to stem from an abundance of histamine in the body. That’s why an allergy pill will help but for me it was not enough. Histamine is produced in the body during an allergic reaction and there are many foods that naturally contain histamine. There are two primary enzymes in the body to break down histamine. One is DAO and the other HNMT. I found taking a soil based prebiotic and probiotic has helped my gut health which allowed my body to produce more of there enzymes necessary to break down the histamine in my body. This has seemed to cure my dermatographia
I was always healthy but it was after I became chronically anemic I subsequently developed a lot of health issues- including dermatographia, 2 autoimmune diseases & diabetes. It's interesting how our body reacts when things are out of sync 🙁.
I’ve been having this for the past 3 weeks, and it’s still not getting any better. Never had any allergy before.. out of sudden I’m having this and still no clue on what triggers it.. taking antihistamine and prednisolone.. but doesn’t do much.. it keeps coming back.. I’m getting depressed coz it appears not only on my body but also my face.. 😭😭
I have pressure uticaria for 1 1/2 yrs now..and itch like crazy...hives will last 15 - 25 mins. I take benadryl evry night. Just carrying my purse on my arm for a min will leave me with hives or laying on my textured couch will leave hives on my skin.
I'm suffering from a type of urticaria when my body is exposed to high temperature than my body. I have been suffering from it for over a year now and it is destroying my life
I have the same type or urticaria, I cant ever do anything that raises my body temperature or I burn and itch, I’ve had it super bad for about 4 years and I’m 16
I have been dealing with dermatographism for 8 years now literally get it everyday. Only taking antihistamines work. Antihistamines usually cause dizziness so can't take them every either. You can't drive after taking those it literally sucks having this
I've literally had Chronic Urticaria for 10 Years now, yes you heard that right 10 Years. Literally everyday in the morning I have one Citrizine Tablet, so that it doesn't arise. I've just gotten used to it now, take the medicines and that it I'm fine. I gave up years ago after having so many tests done, Doctors are useless, they couldn't find anything, so decided just to put up with it.
I have had the same thing for as long as I can remember. I take Zyrtec everyday to help the itching but the rash still appears. Now it seems I am also suffering from dermatographism.
I hav this problem since last 12 years. I use 1 tablet of Atrex 10mg in each 3 day. And then only I feel normal. I had gone through so many treatments but zero results
Can it affect the internal organs? I started getting hives in September 2019.it started in my fingers, feet, then on my skin, lips and eye lids then swell. This was every evening for weeks till I went to the doctor. I stopped getting it over a months ago but don't know if it's now moved internal, I get stomach pains so much I can't eat. I've lost 14Ibs/1 Stone in two weeks.
Im lucky that my skin colour is brown bc it doesn't show red marks that are that bad and you can clearly see But it still my Uticaria is very rare and to me deadly and as so far my medicine isn't working anymore:(
He probably takes antihistamines to control it, and also like how he wears to loose fitting, cotton blend clothes to help his skin breathe. I too have the cholinergic urticaria. I take cetirizine.
My god this thing makes working out in the winter near impossible. Personally I've found if you can find a way to calm yourself down rather than react to the itch it helps but when it gets bad it's the worst sensation
I’ve had this for years and found the cure for me. It’s working out and breaking a good sweat first thing in the morning. For the first 5-10 minutes of my workout I feel the burn and get redness but it’s worth it to go the rest of the day as normal. I’ve had periods when I’ve been to the gym consistently with no days off and didn’t suffer any flare at all. I must’ve wiped out the histamines / triggers or something. Hope this helps.
I spent a couple day out of days in the woods I was full of ticks all over and from their own I my body was full of red rashes that lasted for about a month then the but now it's been more than three months and I still have dermographism. I think it was probably an allergic reaction from the insects.

My fiance JUST got diagnosed with dermotographia at 31 years of age. 🙁 We are getting married in August of this year and my worry/concern is that she bought a very tight, form fitting wedding gown, which she purchased BEFORE she got dermotographia. I am SO NERVOUS that if she wears it she will get one enormous hive over her entire body causing a possible wound or infection. Mainly because the material of a gown is thick, rough and full of sequins. Am I worrying too much or is my concern legit?

I've had it for a couple years and when they're itchy, it really sucks and sometimes I can't sleep. It also makes me really self-conscious about taking off my clothes because my chest and back always seem to be covered in hives when I do. Although I do sometimes use it as a party trick with my friends and they find it pretty funny when I write stuff on my skin and it pops up 2 minutes later

It took weeks for me to be correctly diagnosed with acute urticaria and I don’t know what to do. It started in mid March of 2019; I take pills to relieve my pain. I’ve tried everything if you know anything that can help cure or help let me know. I still don’t even know what has caused my condition.
Whoever is reading please do this for you treatment I promise you you’ll be okay in couple weeks by god’s will - Take a week and eat only boiled chicken and boiled potatoes( no seasoning) - Take famotodine and levocetirizine ( one pill each! One time in the morning before you eat and one before your dinner
I’ve had uticaria for 15 years, driving me bonkers. I’m from an Afro Caribbean background - milk allergy is common so I believe - I think this may be my problem but I also react to heat, cold, touch, pressure on the skin, physical contact. It’s really annoying. Even if I just lie down in my bed I get it all on my back and my legs. I’ve found the only cure is a low dairy diet and a cetirizine a day. Just get the hives/weals but not itchy which makes me happier . Hope that helps :) Mine was diagnosed as chronic uticaria
Are you usong ceterizine daily? Even the hives wasnt even appearing. Can you me some tips over your situation. Mine appears on heat, pressure on the skin. When im lying on the blanket that makes me hot.
katrina togle I’m using cetirizine daily, I have the same issues as you! The red rash appears but it is not itchy anymore ?? Which is what drives me bonkers. I bulk bought cetirizine for a fiver on amazon :)
@@TheLingerista mine is itchy as fvck. Its very tiring to have this condition. Sometimes i was trying not to take ceterizine. But i cannot help but to take. the longer i wait the more hives i get. Its all over my body and faces sometimes. Do you think its okay to take ceterizine daily?
Chronic urticaria gives me itching and swelling in the skin which is very bad on the time. Skin swelling like round and more itching. How can we stop and relief?
Hi guys. I am Gina brown from california, due to the hotness of the summer I noticed that my skin has started developing heat rashes so I contacted Doctor Iyhere from Africa who helped me after I ordered for the appropriate herbal medication.
I’ve had this for years and found the cure for me. It’s working out and breaking a good sweat first thing in the morning. For the first 5-10 minutes of my workout I feel the burn and get redness but it’s worth it to go the rest of the day as normal. I’ve had periods when I’ve been to the gym consistently with no days off and didn’t suffer any flare at all. I must’ve wiped out the histamines / triggers or something. Hope this helps.
Its happen to in sumer when i was slpeping in the park taking my shirt of after that i get that its al 1 yeaer i still have it make m cry big mistqkes ppl do
I guess hype comes with all these treatments and cures. Some work, some don’t they all have the same hype. How to know what gets rid of hives in weeks? DYOR, or maybe start with something like what I found after gooling Shane Zormander’s hive cure, or even Wikipedia.
Same. Hit 2 weeks after my Moderna booster. Not much data on this yet, but plenty of anecdotes online. I read a post from an allergist who says she's seen an uptick in cases correlated to the shot (they can't confirm the cause), and fortunately most seem to resolve on their own in about 3 months. I'll be seeing an allergist soon myself to try to figure this out.
First of all, my face every now and then has been getting red for no apparent reason, this redness has never happened to me before. When I exercise its a fact that little bumps like pimples appear on my cheeks, its feels like they where always there but suddenly activate and it makes me look like i never got my acne under control. This bumps also appear when I apply make up, its a fact that the next minute I'm gonna have pimples thru the night and even a day o 2 later. Any advice?
Appreciation Doctor for your information. My Sister was suffering from allergy but after not getting results from allopathic drugs we switched to the natural, herbal ayurvedic remedies and we choose Planet Ayurveda's products and started with allergy care pack. I am happy to share that sista is perfectly fine now and our natural pathy is the best.
I’ve had it for 15 years!😔 I even get it on my private part’s, after my monthly. I need to put ice 🧊🥺 after sex I apply ice or cold shower! If I drive my hands irritated or mop even rake! I love to shovel snow I can feel better with snow on my hands I learned to prefer pain over itching! I also learned that in my desperate situation to run to Allegra it calmed it but would actually make it worse would come back stronger! I put to the test, yup! So, stop relying on meds! Cream did nothing. Dr. Don’t really know just prescription after prescription. My only remedy to stay home on Social Security 😣 handycap sign at age 45! We can’t walk too much sit too long stand too long even sit on the toilet too long! 😔 sleep too long on one side 😔 was even offered chemo for 30 days but I’ll just stay home not trying to wear shoes that bother! But hey guys! I can tell you one thing best Summer slides adidas adilete I walked universal studios 🙌🏼 no problem 😉🥰 I got home bought all colors!
I've had it for three years and antihistamines make it worse. The only thing that really helps and fast is Bi-Carbonate of Soda. A Quick drink Perhaps half a teaspoon in half a glass of water and it's gone in a minute. At least it lasts a few hours. It can be rubbed on the skin with a wet hand or you can drink it. I think it would work for anyone. That stuff is great. Good luck. If you don't recognise the name perhapse you know it as baking powder.
@@angeminc If you say so, it still has bi-carbonate of soda in it and it very frequently gets mixed up. They're both a type of powder. Where I live, it's Bi-carbonate of soda. Full Stop.
Guys, I had a break through. This may be something called “Prickly Heat”. Try putting on some hydrocortisone cream for a couple days and see what happens. It seems to be working for me. If it seems to help, ask your doctor to prescribe some stronger cream.
As a guy who plays football , loves to workout . This is ruining my life
Same here man. My painful burning sensation goes away after i break a sweat, but it is absolutely terrible to live with this day in and out.
Same, I acquired it after an NSAID allergic reaction. This was 7 years ago, this is absolutely the worst..
Excilly I’m trying to get Xolair. If you’re insurance won’t cover it, there’s a chance one of the association will help you out. Give it a shot
Me too. Its consuming my life. I've tried almost everything and Ive seen no improvement. There's not a day that goes by that I dont have a reaction. 😞

I read through the comments section and felt a lot of empathy. I would like to thank you all for sharing your stories. I was diagnosed today with cholinergic urticaria, the one caused due to changes in room temperature or elevated emotions. I know its going to ruin my life just like it did yours. Let's try our best to face it and do the things we can do and want to do, otherwise life won't be worth it. I wish you all well from the bottom of my heart and always remember that you are stronger than your petty allergy!

Aww... I hope you are doing well ❤️
I have dermatographism. It started in May slowly and no one knew what it was. From May to September I was constantly trying new medications, being given injections almost every night because I couldn't sleep. The itchiness never stopped. The most sleep I could get was 3h per night. I have never felt worse and more depressed than that summer. Now I'm trying to get used to it, some medicine is helping but nothing lasts for long. It's calmed down since the summer but it still makes me miserable. Plus doctors telling me there's really nothing I can do, they tell me to not stress. This disease is slowly ruining me and no one really understands it unless they have it.
Me too
I’m dealing with this EXACT same issue. Worse during the night😢
Same, I keep reminding myself I'll break out into systemic hives if I scratch anything.
Zyrtec helps me manage, but it's not bullet proof.
5 months of desensitization aka allergy shots - immunotherapy, treatments are the only thing that truly made a difference. Now it's a manageable condition, but I have my back up prednisone and epipens for emergencies.
Some people
Get it after getting the COVID vaccine. Mine was from birth.
I faithfully take a Zyrtec daily, but I initially took an allergy test to find what triggers me the most because I have severe allergies on top of this drama as well as eczema. I find that too much bread dairy and sugar really exacerbate this issue. Also when my immunity is down it's more of a struggle as well... Whatever y'all do STAY HYDRATED and away from too much soda.
I was diagnosed with chronic urticaria almost 4 years ago now. Ive been taking prescription antihistamines the whole time, 1 every 12 hours, god forbid I miss one. I got told it might never go away or it might one day just disappear. It seems to just get worse every year, causing eczema from itching so much now it's so painful can't ever touch my face without flaring up. Can't even wear make up anymore. I feel for anyone going through the same thing. More research needs to be done, it's so unheard of by everyone I know.
Which med u are taking
Also going on almost 4 years now, it started as simple but became symptomatic over time and i have about 30 different triggers that occur in my day to day life which makes it very hard to live with. I take 50mg antihistamine 3x a day and i still get it. These past few months it has been exponentially worse.
@@studymics5672 I take fexofenadine still taking it now not as much though I try to go as long as possible before taking one

Same here, been 5 yrs actually. Started after a miscarriage. I don’t take meds, I try to deal with it. Worse in winter, better in summer. Sometimes if it’s unbearable I’ll take an Allegra. Been trying to get to the root cause all this time. Seems to be getting worse. In pain right now because I guess I had a cookie earlier with cinnamon and molasses and ginger?? Sigh….
2-5 % population. Damn. Why me?
Enosh Subba thats roughly 130 million people more or less, but its still very rare considering how many people there are. Life sucks, and yea, why us.
I've been around 52 years and just diagnosed. 2 to 5%? I never heard or seen anyone else with this.
I can relate so much, I started having dermatographism when i was really young but it went awway until i was 11 years old? I'm now 13 i don't even know what to do anymore :(

I have had this same thing happening to me for about a month now. I itch so much all over. Can’t sleep can’t really do nothing because of it. I went to urgent care one night because of the itch and the burn. They gave me a steroid shot and prednisone and Zyrtec. Was on those meds for about a week and was feeling great. Once the meds were gone it came right back even worse. I hate this it’s really ruining my everyday life. I have a doctors appointment in 2 days to find out what it is. I wouldn’t wish this much pain on my worse enemy.
Do you have an update? I hope you are doing better...
@@c2h2a2d Yes it’s Chronic Urticaria. I’m doing fine thanks for asking. Started my Zolare shots in December. It’s been great so far. Got 8 more shots to go.
This is exactly what happen to me i took all the medicine you've said.
@@pitapita3593 *xolair
When I first started to experience this, it was unbearable. I couldn’t do things properly because of the itching. Had to take some medicines that made me sleepy all the time. But after 3-4 years, I just get used to it. It is not easy but it is still beautiful. I think I have this skin condition for a reason.
I freaking hate this illness! I remember it starting 4 months ago at night and it never stopped! I have to take a medication that makes me tired daily. Whenever I don’t, it will come back powerful then ever. I really hate it. I feel like it’s changed my life. I wish I can just scratch an itchy spot without having to worry about this horrific illness! It’s ugly and disappointing!
I know what you mean, I developed mine over the summer. Not only does my skin flare up but it itches so much and can be pretty painful. I take a simple allergy pill every day to stop the inflammation. I do hope it gets better and know you’re not alone.
Any changes?
I have it. Its been 4 years already
I had cold urticaria.... mine slowly went away so there is always hope. I probably had it from 94 to 04.....I never was treated by a doctor... just learned to live with it. I'm so glad that I no longer suffer from CU.
I had Dermatographism since summer of 2019. I was freaking out since it started randomly and remember watching this vid to figure out what's going on. I was especially frustrated because I'm a POC and couldn't fine anyone who looked like me with the same problem. So i was even more worried.
I have it under control now, talked with my Allergy Doctor, and not really embarrassed about it any more so if you guys have any questions maybe i can help.

@@kevindaos459 I have Cholinergic Urticaria, and this also works for me. It's not a cure, but an extremely effective treatment. I'm not sure how this would work with other Urticaria's, but who knows?
Alejandro Ramirez yeah you’re right mate, it’s not a cure - just a way of keeping control of it. I’d like to think it does work for everyone. And if not I hope they find a way to control it for them 🙏
You’re speaking as a person who has experienced these hives or as a person who has not experienced this? Because as a person who is currently experiencing chronic urticaria I can tell you that it does not matter if this is itching or not, the red, inflamed markings are embarrassing so to say that it’s not bothersome is a huge mistake.
It also makes cuts open up more so the scarring is worse. Weals from brushing or rubbing against something like clothing can then easily become grazes as the skin is more delicate when its all puffy and inflamed like that already
Haha, exactly! I hate it when I accidentally scratch my face then it flares up and people think they're bug bites.
Thank you so much! Ive been dealing with these conditions for the past 12 months!
Are you cured?

I was diagnosed with dermatographism when i was 12yrs old.(My dermatologist gave me antihistamine,cetacort lotion, and Avene Trixera nutrition which doesn't help at all)
After a while my body adapts the hives,itchiness and the rashes.
My dermatologist doesn't help at all..
She failed to recognize my illness (which i didn't expect for a professional dermatologist)
After couple of years i still have it.
The most important thing to consider is Don't Panick.
What % of the population have life threatening dermatagraphia? I go into full blown anaphylaxis if mine is left untreated/unchecked.
I was attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes, even while wearing repellent, and unknown to me at the time I had dermatagraphia. Naturally, I scratched all over and within 45 minutes I was in the ER.
2 Epi-Pens, a benadryl drip, prednisone, along with other medications I can't remember, saved my life!
Now my dermatagraphia is worse than ever. I need zyrtec everyday or I start to flare up into eventual anaphylaxis. Fun times, but I suspect I'm something like 1% of the 1-3% of people who have this as a life threatening condition. Just curious, thanks!
I’m so sorry you are going through this! It sounds so terrible and scary! I have dermagraphism urticaria with unknown cause but I never had anaphylactic episode. I get redness and itchy like stripes and cuts on my body. I try to follow a low histamine diet. This helps somewhat. Lower your daily histamine load.
I have simple dermatographism on my body, symptomatic on my face. It’s so weird, I want rid of it 😫
I cure it permanently without any medicines ...modern science will not cure it ..do pranayama and yoga and dnt take antihistamines.iy will ruin Ur life..our body is self healing and one more thing when harmones imbalance then this happen do anulom vilom 30 mins in morning u will get results In 30 days

Thanks that I found this video, I think i have Dermatographism, I've had it before in my teenage years, it was fun before because i can write at my skin, ang my friends were so amazed too, but it wasn't worst, it's itching but it's bearable... Then suddenly it goes away and I became totally normal... Then now that I'm in my late 20's it came back and it's the worst! 😭 It never let's me sleep peacefully at night, just a simple scratch in my skin can become huge because it's so itchy and burning that i can't help but to scratch again, then it's forever... 😭😭😭 It's so stressful... Then i accidentally eat seafood which is I'm allergic to, i had to take antihistamine, then i realized that my skin writing became mild at that moment, and I thought that maybe it's skin allergy or something so I've been taking antihistamines at least once or twice a day now, not unless i forgot and I'll definitely suffer the entire day... Now I watched this, and became a little educated about my condition, at least now I know that I'm not the only one having this... Some people are saying that maybe i have a dirty blood that's why i have this... 😅😭
Thanks so much for the video - the information provided is most helpful. I find myself at times consumed with this problem - the direction provided is greatly appreciated.
I hate this!! Every time I use a towel, every time I clap my hands, every time someone touches me too hard, every time I jump in a pool, every time I enter an air conditioned room or leave and air conditioned room, every time I run, every time I drink alcohol, every time I shiver I get like 20 minutes of pure itchy torture!! I could scratch my skin open and the worst is, scratching increases the hives 😭😭😭 I feel done!! My friends can tell whether it will be cold later in the day by just looking at my skin and whether or not I'm getting a rash. I thought it was weird but it's so true!

I have Cholinergic Urticaria and in gym class I constantly had to go to the nurse and apply antihistamine and cool down. I also have cold induced urticaria so it's pretty hard for me to not be breaking out
Mine started in early September with pain in my fingers and feet, like a burning sensation. I felt bruised and injured even though there were no marks.
And then 5 weeks ago I developed the lumps, itching, it got worse two weeks ago. My lips swelled, it felt like someone was pulling my lips off. I get pains in my stomach, I'm losing 5ibs and gaining 5ibs, up and down since first week of September. After I've eaten food I feel severe pains in different parts of my abdomen. Sometimes I have nausea to the point where I eat nothing all day or once a day.
I have an 8 yr old tattoo on my wrist and blood came up under the tattoo like it was trying to burst out. I don't have periods because I'm on depo, but everyday I feel like I'm bleeding even though blood doesn't come out.
Wearing clothes, underwear, socks and shoes became uncomfortable and sometimes painful to wear. I had blood tests yesterday, 6 vials of blood to be tested. She named all the tests but cant remember what they're testing for.
Any update on this?

Started intermittent fasting 6 months ago. IF is amazing if you haven't committed to it yet. But.... Hives appeared 2 weeks after starting. Figured it would go away since my body was detoxing from 5 years of junk food. Here we are with hives almost everyday! From what I've been reading for months it's related to the gut health. I'm not a doctor, but it seems to disappear for those who do a strick diet change. Especially and most recently those who stick with a carnivore diet for NO LESS than 10-12 weeks. Helps reset your gut. I'm definitely going to try it starting next week. I Love my veggies but finding out most of my favs are high in histamine such as spinach and avocados. Yea it sucks!
I've only started this week keeping a food log. I'm also scheduled to see a natural path doc next month.
This will be interesting.
Stay cool and don't scratch friends!
P.S. - Oatmeal baths are a God send!

Almost every night I breakout with mosquito like bites, that itch uncontrollablly.. they are gone by the morning. I found the calamine lotion really helps! This has been going on for a couple months. I'm assuming I have urticaria
Thank you for sharing. I had this when I was 7 years old. Im now 27 and it has started again. Last week I got a cold, and was given a medication called Gelodurat to help with my sinusitis. In combination to this I was extremely stressed out at work last week. I am now itchy all over my body, when I sleep, when I shower.. whenever I do anything. It's horrible.
Antihistamines don't seem to be helping.
Gelodurat can cause urticaria. I read this in the SmPc after I tried to work out what I had taken during the week i was sick.
It's now been 10 days where I am extremely itchy and so fed up it's causing me so much grief.
The issue I'm having is I love in Switzerland and I don't know how to explain this issue to my doctor..
babeoss Guys, I had a break through. This may be something called “Prickly Heat”. Try putting on some hydrocortisone cream for a couple days and see what happens. It seems to be working for me. If it seems to help, ask your doctor to prescribe some stronger cream.
Just take Rhus Tox C 200 once daily, (2 drops) for a week. Based on the fact it gets worse from bathing. Add Histamine C1000 once every month for a year.
It's literally the worst. As a profession I'm a personal trainer and bootcamp trainer. So there is no escaping the hives what so ever, since I'm doing physical activity almost everyday. For me the desloratatine works, but I already need to take 2 or more daily. I switch it up with Levocetirizine every half a year. 'Cus my body gets used to it. - It took me so long to figure out what it was.
stress causes dermatographism, when my sister passed away, that very day i was lost, screaming crying etc...that same night i was all covered with red lines, swalen and red. it was horible, after some time it was less and less, today after 30 years its still there if i scratch my skin, but not that much, and yes...i i get stressed, or frightened, it comes bad on touch
Do you have high Ige??i have high ige and also dermatographism since last month i dunno how it happened and dunno how it will go
For 13 years now i have suffered with this, always afraid to even be with people in public becasue when it get worse people turn to look at me like im an alien 😭😭😭
I have this normally but after years and years now I have the itching now
Kind of comforting to read comments from people suffering from similar conditions. I have cholinergic urticaria, meaning I get super itchy/burning skin when my body temp raises. Walking into a building that's warmer than outside is literally enough for an attack. Obviously no sports. Walking uphill etc it's terrible I absolutely hate it. Had this for for about 13 years now, no end in sight, in fact it recently got worse which is why I'm here.

Ugh I have this too. It's torture. Can't exercise or over exert myself. I also have been diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria and dermatographism and nearly everything seems to cause a flare up. I suffer everyday. Even cold weather gives me hives now and wearing tight clothes. But the heat and sweating seem to be the worst. I feel like I'm self destructing. Just taking a shower (any temperature of water) causes huge welts all over my body. As does sweat. Even if I cry my face will become red and patchy and my lips and eyelids will swell up. It's a nightmare. Can't catch a break lol... Doctors don't have answers and just dismiss me 🤷♀️

Ask your doctor about Xolair injections. If you haven’t already
Very educative thank you very much
I've suffered from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria and Dermatographism. The type of Dermatographism I had was delayed. So the allergist would test me for it to see if I would welt up but I wouldn't. Then about 10 hours later, my skin would welt up & itch. I would call my allergist the following day to let them know the test was actually positive, it just took hours to show up. It was horrible. I would get it from clothes too. Awful.
Mines comes if I get too cold or if I get too hot or if I exercise as well
Me. It just develop last year. Is it possible to go away in due time or this will stay forever? Dermatographism with itchiness. It stresses me out everytime!
There are not enough treatment methods about chronic urticaria, it's very sad 😭😭 I've had chronic urticaria for about 2 years and it happens every day, it's so bad please help.
Bro try intemate fasting. I did intemate fasting for 6months i realise that my hives are gone but take some anti histamine for first month then cutoff the 💊 .and continue with intemate fasting. Be patient. It will help you . Just try it and then thank god
@@Entertainmentworld-ji1xb bro, it doesn't happen every day anymore, it happens to me when I'm stressed . thanks anyway
I prescribe Desora(desloratadine) As BScN Student
I've been experiencing hives for about 2 years along with stomach problems like vomiting bloated stomach diarrhea I get cold sweats. And something that was mentioned in the thread breaking a sweat by exersing even a fast paced walk can feel good like spearheading right into the anxioisness although I would most likely vomit a few times
I also had this. It was the gmo's ( genetically modified food).. Try eating organic food. At least the fruits and vegetables you eat the most. For me it was bananas and carrots. I still eat non-organic just not a lot. Lets face it organic is expensive.
I am taking antihistamine since 6 years
initially i was allergic to few foods now they are increasing in number
I cant even skip a day without taking drugs
My life had become like hell
Hi
I have been diagnosed with dermatographia for years now and it’s the worst. I get flicked, bump my wrist on a counter, itch a scratch and then 25 seconds later I have huge red welts that itch worse then a million bug bites. The more I scratch the more it itches and then I scratch more. I’ve learned to almost live with this and try to ignore the itchiness (especially after a shower or laying down for bed) but I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice or suggestions for me to get rid of this crap. Thank you any and all advice is appreciated.
LLQ 4Ever same problem and now my girlfriend is also having this same problem..I really need to get rid of this
Avtar Singh me too man my girlfriend recently had this problem as well but hers subsided after a few weeks but I hope it gets better for you
I’ve been suffering from this as well for many years and finally started to try and find out the root cause and cure bc no medical professional can offer any advice beyond taking an allergy pill everyday.
It seems to stem from an abundance of histamine in the body. That’s why an allergy pill will help but for me it was not enough.
Histamine is produced in the body during an allergic reaction and there are many foods that naturally contain histamine.
There are two primary enzymes in the body to break down histamine. One is DAO and the other HNMT. I found taking a soil based prebiotic and probiotic has helped my gut health which allowed my body to produce more of there enzymes necessary to break down the histamine in my body.
This has seemed to cure my dermatographia
Vegan 4 Lives Thank you I will give this a try
Thanks .
I was always healthy but it was after I became chronically anemic I subsequently developed a lot of health issues- including dermatographia, 2 autoimmune diseases & diabetes. It's interesting how our body reacts when things are out of sync 🙁.
Did it go once you treated the aneamia?
I’ve been having this for the past 3 weeks, and it’s still not getting any better. Never had any allergy before.. out of sudden I’m having this and still no clue on what triggers it.. taking antihistamine and prednisolone.. but doesn’t do much.. it keeps coming back.. I’m getting depressed coz it appears not only on my body but also my face.. 😭😭
do you still have this?
@@BlueStarWishes hi.. Not anymore. It went away after doctor prescribed atarax.
I have pressure uticaria for 1 1/2 yrs now..and itch like crazy...hives will last 15 - 25 mins. I take benadryl evry night. Just carrying my purse on my arm for a min will leave me with hives or laying on my textured couch will leave hives on my skin.
Any changes?
@@wileecoyote5749 nope still same
Why me 😥😥😥😥 it itch like hell
Rinato Yeptho itch and burn sometimes
I'm suffering from a type of urticaria when my body is exposed to high temperature than my body. I have been suffering from it for over a year now and it is destroying my life
I have the same type or urticaria, I cant ever do anything that raises my body temperature or I burn and itch, I’ve had it super bad for about 4 years and I’m 16
I have the same. I also get the hives when I sweat, take a shower and even when it rains. It's torture 😔
@@alexaonther0x personally, I found out that sweating seems to be an effective treatment. The effect last for about a day and half.
I have been dealing with dermatographism for 8 years now literally get it everyday. Only taking antihistamines work. Antihistamines usually cause dizziness so can't take them every either. You can't drive after taking those it literally sucks having this
I've literally had Chronic Urticaria for 10 Years now, yes you heard that right 10 Years. Literally everyday in the morning I have one Citrizine Tablet, so that it doesn't arise. I've just gotten used to it now, take the medicines and that it I'm fine. I gave up years ago after having so many tests done, Doctors are useless, they couldn't find anything, so decided just to put up with it.
I have had the same thing for as long as I can remember. I take Zyrtec everyday to help the itching but the rash still appears. Now it seems I am also suffering from dermatographism.
I hav this problem since last 12 years. I use 1 tablet of Atrex 10mg in each 3 day. And then only I feel normal. I had gone through so many treatments but zero results
@@kuchbhi5181 I'm taking levocetrazine 1 for 2,days,
And my mom still says it’s hive 🗿
when I take "antiallergic" tablet, it stops for 2-2.5 days.
Same her man. then take another one. just started a few months ago. hope it goes away
It's work like drug for me
You probably have to take it daily😂
Twenty years with both
I have had this most of my life and you couldn't convince me that it wasn't antibiotics that gave it to me.
I am taking Ebast 20 tablet...these give temporary relief for 2-3 days...
I just got this and itches like hell and appears all over me. I hope it goes away T.T
i have this, its a pain in the ass, deep down im afraid im dying or something
Can it affect the internal organs? I started getting hives in September 2019.it started in my fingers, feet, then on my skin, lips and eye lids then swell. This was every evening for weeks till I went to the doctor. I stopped getting it over a months ago but don't know if it's now moved internal, I get stomach pains so much I can't eat. I've lost 14Ibs/1 Stone in two weeks.
i would love to help add captions if at all possible!
Im lucky that my skin colour is brown bc it doesn't show red marks that are that bad and you can clearly see
But it still my Uticaria is very rare and to me deadly and as so far my medicine isn't working anymore:(
What is solution of this disease plz
BTS V have got I feel so bad
Make me cry
Juicing. Lots of fresh fruit & veg juice. See "Fat,sick and nearly dead". It works.
I want ask something from you cann I ask
He probably takes antihistamines to control it, and also like how he wears to loose fitting, cotton blend clothes to help his skin breathe. I too have the cholinergic urticaria. I take cetirizine.
My god this thing makes working out in the winter near impossible. Personally I've found if you can find a way to calm yourself down rather than react to the itch it helps but when it gets bad it's the worst sensation
Please take cold showers I barely get itching anymore
I’ve had this for years and found the cure for me. It’s working out and breaking a good sweat first thing in the morning. For the first 5-10 minutes of my workout I feel the burn and get redness but it’s worth it to go the rest of the day as normal. I’ve had periods when I’ve been to the gym consistently with no days off and didn’t suffer any flare at all. I must’ve wiped out the histamines / triggers or something. Hope this helps.
I spent a couple day out of days in the woods I was full of ticks all over and from their own I my body was full of red rashes that lasted for about a month then the but now it's been more than three months and I still have dermographism. I think it was probably an allergic reaction from the insects.
Might be lyme disease - it can activate mast cells
So if you have dermatographism and food allergies.. how do you know what you’re reacting to?
Damn Taehyung have this?
-I hate kpop- NewTrend yeah 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😭
V well soon😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i have this, it’s not too bad, just really annoying and it hurts >:(
@@jasmine-dq5vc i feel you,. Hate the feeling.
I have Dermatographic and it really sucks🤧
Me too ugh
See yourself without it Pray
I have it too as well but it's actually not that bad sometimes I have itching with it but was pretty special only 5% of the population has it
Me too
Actually it's great...I make art from my skin😅😂
I’ve had this ever since I can remember

kevin daos I hope it does. Thank you 🙏🏽
I can't take excessive heat. Its triggers down.
I'm the same way. Going to get my thyroid checked again as chronic hives can be a sign of an autoimmune disease like hyperthyroidism
@@alexaonther0x i m here almost after one year i would like to tell you guys... before i couldn't - walk for long, walk up high stairs, eat too spicy, feel deep emotions , expose to excessive heat ... i went under 3 months of medication which rlly worked now i can take all of this but not in high amount...but much bttr thn before just sometime exposing to sunlight for long it hurts...
My fiance JUST got diagnosed with dermotographia at 31 years of age. 🙁 We are getting married in August of this year and my worry/concern is that she bought a very tight, form fitting wedding gown, which she purchased BEFORE she got dermotographia. I am SO NERVOUS that if she wears it she will get one enormous hive over her entire body causing a possible wound or infection. Mainly because the material of a gown is thick, rough and full of sequins. Am I worrying too much or is my concern legit?

@@Yokujiii hope it works for you!
I've had it for a couple years and when they're itchy, it really sucks and sometimes I can't sleep. It also makes me really self-conscious about taking off my clothes because my chest and back always seem to be covered in hives when I do. Although I do sometimes use it as a party trick with my friends and they find it pretty funny when I write stuff on my skin and it pops up 2 minutes later

I have it. It is fine dont worry
It took weeks for me to be correctly diagnosed with acute urticaria and I don’t know what to do. It started in mid March of 2019; I take pills to relieve my pain. I’ve tried everything if you know anything that can help cure or help let me know. I still don’t even know what has caused my condition.
Why me😐
Whoever is reading please do this for you treatment
I promise you you’ll be okay in couple weeks by god’s will
- Take a week and eat only boiled chicken and boiled potatoes( no seasoning)
- Take famotodine and levocetirizine ( one pill each! One time in the morning before you eat and one before your dinner
I’ve had uticaria for 15 years, driving me bonkers. I’m from an Afro Caribbean background - milk allergy is common so I believe - I think this may be my problem but I also react to heat, cold, touch, pressure on the skin, physical contact. It’s really annoying. Even if I just lie down in my bed I get it all on my back and my legs. I’ve found the only cure is a low dairy diet and a cetirizine a day. Just get the hives/weals but not itchy which makes me happier . Hope that helps :)
Mine was diagnosed as chronic uticaria
Are you usong ceterizine daily? Even the hives wasnt even appearing. Can you me some tips over your situation. Mine appears on heat, pressure on the skin. When im lying on the blanket that makes me hot.
katrina togle I’m using cetirizine daily, I have the same issues as you! The red rash appears but it is not itchy anymore ?? Which is what drives me bonkers. I bulk bought cetirizine for a fiver on amazon :)
@@TheLingerista mine is itchy as fvck. Its very tiring to have this condition. Sometimes i was trying not to take ceterizine. But i cannot help but to take. the longer i wait the more hives i get. Its all over my body and faces sometimes. Do you think its okay to take ceterizine daily?
Chronic urticaria gives me itching and swelling in the skin which is very bad on the time. Skin swelling like round and more itching. How can we stop and relief?
i usually forget i have it. i think it’s pretty cool
It’s my party trick
Does anyone else only have it in winter?
Hi guys. I am Gina brown from california, due to the hotness of the summer I noticed that my skin has started developing heat rashes so I contacted Doctor Iyhere from Africa who helped me after I ordered for the appropriate herbal medication.
I just got this stupid thing about 2yrs ago at 33. I haven't started eating anything different it just came about. Itches like hell. Why me?
i am dying since 2 years... itching like hell

Its happen to in sumer when i was slpeping in the park taking my shirt of after that i get that its al 1 yeaer i still have it make m cry big mistqkes ppl do
No mention of stress as a cause of urticaria?
I guess hype comes with all these treatments and cures. Some work, some don’t they all have the same hype. How to know what gets rid of hives in weeks? DYOR, or maybe start with something like what I found after gooling Shane Zormander’s hive cure, or even Wikipedia.
Fexofendodine none of the others
i have dermatographism after covid vaccine (moderna) :/
Same. Hit 2 weeks after my Moderna booster. Not much data on this yet, but plenty of anecdotes online. I read a post from an allergist who says she's seen an uptick in cases correlated to the shot (they can't confirm the cause), and fortunately most seem to resolve on their own in about 3 months. I'll be seeing an allergist soon myself to try to figure this out.
I have it now after the Pfizer covid vaccine and my 2nd booster was exactly a year ago. I have the intense itchyness EVERY night
First of all, my face every now and then has been getting red for no apparent reason, this redness has never happened to me before. When I exercise its a fact that little bumps like pimples appear on my cheeks, its feels like they where always there but suddenly activate and it makes me look like i never got my acne under control. This bumps also appear when I apply make up, its a fact that the next minute I'm gonna have pimples thru the night and even a day o 2 later.
Any advice?
Go see a doctor please because they will be best at figuring out what your symptoms mean.
Appreciation Doctor for your information. My Sister was suffering from allergy but after not getting results from allopathic drugs we switched to the natural, herbal ayurvedic remedies and we choose Planet Ayurveda's products and started with allergy care pack. I am happy to share that sista is perfectly fine now and our natural pathy is the best.
Please tell what are the medicine he take
I have it
I’ve had it for 15 years!😔 I even get it on my private part’s, after my monthly. I need to put ice 🧊🥺 after sex I apply ice or cold shower! If I drive my hands irritated or mop even rake! I love to shovel snow I can feel better with snow on my hands I learned to prefer pain over itching! I also learned that in my desperate situation to run to Allegra it calmed it but would actually make it worse would come back stronger! I put to the test, yup! So, stop relying on meds! Cream did nothing. Dr. Don’t really know just prescription after prescription. My only remedy to stay home on Social Security 😣 handycap sign at age 45!
We can’t walk too much sit too long stand too long even sit on the toilet too long! 😔 sleep too long on one side 😔 was even offered chemo for 30 days but I’ll just stay home not trying to wear shoes that bother! But hey guys! I can tell you one thing best Summer slides adidas adilete I walked universal studios 🙌🏼 no problem 😉🥰 I got home bought all colors!
I've had it for three years and antihistamines make it worse. The only thing that really helps and fast is Bi-Carbonate of Soda. A Quick drink Perhaps half a teaspoon in half a glass of water and it's gone in a minute. At least it lasts a few hours.
It can be rubbed on the skin with a wet hand or you can drink it. I think it would work for anyone. That stuff is great. Good luck. If you don't recognise the name perhapse you know it as baking powder.
No it is baking soda.-not baking powder. Two completely different things.
Baking Soda! Not Powder.
@@angeminc If you say so, it still has bi-carbonate of soda in it and it very frequently gets mixed up. They're both a type of powder. Where I live, it's Bi-carbonate of soda. Full Stop.
You are really helping me alot and I appreciate your work so much Dr Ogoh I recommend you to other for any infection cure.+
Is it dangerous to get a Covid vaccine if a person has this condition?
Vaccines does this overactive Auto immunity
Who came here when you hear the news about Kim Taehyung
Me 😌😭I feel bad for him.
Yeah...i came here because of that..
Me
I too has this condition.
Guys, I had a break through. This may be something called “Prickly Heat”. Try putting on some hydrocortisone cream for a couple days and see what happens. It seems to be working for me. If it seems to help, ask your doctor to prescribe some stronger cream.
Does it make u more vulnerable to cancer?
I read that no, however it could be an underlining cause. Need to go to Doctor.
