New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

I too have had similar symptoms after my Moderna booster (3rd shot). I received the booster on Nov 12th and dermatographia began on the Nov 23rd. Allegra helps with the itchiness and Pepcid reduces the red marks, as suggested by my doctor. Now on 4th day of Prednisone with little change in symptoms. As far as support groups, there is a research site that quite a few are commenting on who are experiencing similar issues, they also mention a Facebook group. I have not joined the FB group but did find the research and comments helpful. This comment box will not allow me to post links, but you can search for it, the site is called Cureus and the article is "Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria After COVID-19 Vaccine".

I too received my Moderna booster on 11/12 and developed whole body itching on 11/23. I tried oral steroids and Benadryl to no avail. Was seen by a dermatologist and was advised to take Zyrtec twice daily. Zyrtec helps tremendously but I do not want to take it daily. I have to be very careful not to scratch or the vicious cycle of itching starts. I hope this helps. Hoping this resolves soon.
