Why does my skin turn red after scratching?!


Question: Why does my skin turn red after scratching!?
I've had this problem since I was a teenager, but every time I scratch my skin, my skin turns red and gets inflamed!. It isn't bumpy or raised, it just turns bright red, even at the slightest scratch!. It doesn't bother me very much, but I'm just tired of looking like I've been scratched by a cat all the time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It sounds like dermographism!. I have it too, I've had it since I was about 13, and I'm 20 now!
There isn't any cure for it I'm afraid, but I am going to visit my doctor to see if there is anything that can lessen the symptoms, I'm sick of people saying "oh my god, what have you done to your arm/face/neck/legs/chest etc!?!"

I think that anti-histamines could help, but it's not really a long term plan!. I can always message you after my doctors appt if you want!? Just let me know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your skin shouldn't be so sensitive prone to itching, but I suggest not itching it!. The best solution is one of Neutrogena or Dove's anti-itch creams or even better: mousterizing creams!. It's wonderful to use and creamy to touch!. You'll love it, and the best part is you can get a little sample of it to try out before you buy!.

Good luck!
