Dermatographia Urticaria- Skin Disorder
- 4-5% of the population
- Skin becomes raised and inflamed when stroked or rubbed with a dull object
(Thats not my arm btw, just some random google pic)
I finally figured out what that condition was called :) I've had it for ages, and few people I know have it as well. Its so annoying. Sometimes when I'm like walking through bushes and stuff, and there are all these branches on the ground they like, slightly scratch against my skin, and then it looks like I've been mauled by some animal, and I have all these scars or something. And then people are all :O WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? But yeah, its caused by oversensitivity of the skin or something.
But yeah, my skin is annoying. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I'm allergic to SOMETHING and everytime I touch it, my entire hand completely swells up. Its so gross, and uncomfortable, and its also hurts as well. And I have eczema as well, and once it got so bad on my arm, I couldn't even bend it, and there was like, stuff coming out of it and-- okay, I'll stop talking now, its grossing me out :( Andandand, it doesn't stop there. I have the WORST combination skin, I just don't know what to do! It's so oily in some places, and its so dry in others!! And then I get like acne and stufffffff argh. :(
But yeah, enough about my skin :)
