Wow, how strange is this? That you can actually write on someone's skin?!
It is no fiction. It happens to quite a number of people.
In dermatographia, a person's skin becomes flushed and swollen when touched. It is also known as skin writing.
There's this statistic out there that five percent of people have it.
Dermatographia is a condition in which lightly scratching your skin causes raised, red lines where you've scratched. Though not serious, it can be uncomfortable.
The exact cause of dermatographia isn't clear. It may be caused by an allergic response, yet no specific allergen has been identified.
Simple things can trigger symptoms of dermatographia. For example, rubbing from your clothes or bedsheets may irritate your skin. Sometimes, dermatographia is preceded by an infection, emotional upset or medications, such as penicillin.
