New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

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!

I sincerely hope that you recover from this. I have a similar situation for past 1.5 months with no relief from urticaria. Please let me know if your symptoms improve, so we all have some hope.
