New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

I am relieved to find all of these posts. I have been experiencing the exact same things and have wondered if it was the Moderna booster. I had my booster on Fri Dec 3rd. Around 10 days later my scalp started to itch and then itching spread throughout my whole body. Each day seemed to be a new spot. My ears were inflamed, I had hives wherever I was itching. I even woke up one morning with hives on my face. After 3 days of trying benadryl and claritin I went to urgent care. I was prescribed Prednisone for 6 days. The doctor at urgent care said i was the 3rd person to come in with similar symptoms after the moderna booster. I have been off of Prednisone for over a week....the crazy itching stopped but I have dermatographism and I am just wondering when this will ever go away. If I itch anywhere on my skin it is bright red. Has anyone on here had their skin fully resolve yet???? and how long did it take?? I have an appt with an allergist but if it really was the booster I'm not sure if it's even worth it. I had no skin reactions with the first two moderna shots last April. I had the usual side effects like headache, fever, chills but no crazy reaction.

I’ve been experiencing the exact same thing and also wonder if anyone else’s has cleared up and how going to a dermatologist will help? Isn’t this something we will have to just wait out? It has been 5 weeks of dermatographia for me now.
