How is your dermatographia now here at the end of January? It's been two months...any improvement or is the dermatographia the same?

Mine is better, it’s been two months. I take Claritin every day (missed a day and itch came back) and I still get daily episodes but the affected area is not as large and the itch isn’t as severe. I still get hives on my neck fairly regularly.
My kids both had COVID (omicron) this last week and my hives and dermographia worsened for about 6 days, similar to how it was at the onset. I’m wondering if I had COVID this past week right along side them (tested negative with home tests on three different occasions) because my hives and dermographia returned and this is how my body handled the virus? Has anyone else experienced this?
I’m learning to live with it, take the Claritin daily, and have Hydrocortisone cream handy!
