New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

I was diagnosed with Dermatographia about 7 years ago. It was under control after taking Loratadine daily. I had even stopped taking it and it seemed to be fine. About 4 months ago it started back up and came back with a vengeance. At first I didn’t think it was the dermotographia because it was a little different. After my morning shower my body had redness on my feet, legs, stomach, chest and back. I had an appointment with a dermatologist for a yearly checkup and was seen by the nurse practitioner. I told her what I was experiencing and also mentioned the dermatographia. She recommended taking Allegra in. The morning and Benadryl at night. I’ve been on the regimen and it’s been better but definitely has not relieved the itching . Just recently I began thinking if my dermatographia had returned due to the Covid vaccine. I had 3 Moderna vaccines and my last booster was Pfizer. After reading all these posts, I realize the vaccines are to blame. I will continue with the Allegra and Benadryl but will also talk to my doctor about this and see what she has to say. Will also check out the list of foods that are high in histamine. Unfortunately today my scalp is itching like crazy and I’ve had issues with the redness and lesions on my arm.

I'm so sorry you are doing through this. Just by chance I had labs before first Pfizer fax , after it and before the second. All my labs were skewed. Wbc went up 10,000. TSH went up 5x. I have leukemia and past thyroid cancer. I also have a congenital hole in my heart. 8 days after the first vaccine my BP went to 220/110. No more vaccines for me. I have never been boosted and never will. And docs still "don't" believe it. I think they're only now beginning to find out what they have done to the population.

I have Dermatographia since before Covid. But it has gotten worse over the last 5 years. It started out with my knees being red and hot after a shower, but now it is more of a rash on my arms, around my wasteline and belly, and on my knees. I take Zyrtec daily and Benadryl at night, and use all sorts of antihistamine and cortisone creams. Sometimes it helps lessen the itch, but other times I resort to putting cold packs on the itchy areas. It usually works but lately that hasn’t even worked. Needless to say I don’t get much good sleep.
