4 weeks after my daughter was born i awoke with very itchy skin, so itchy, most could not fathom. After about two weeks I realized, the situation was not going away. After much ado, i have found out it is dermatographia. It is very severe, and very rare to last this long (over one year). I have to take a lot of antihistamines, and am always uncomfortable. If I touch my skin, or if anything does for that matter, it leaves hives or even perfect impressions of what touched me (like a hand print, with all the finger prints and everything). We have moved the dog outside, and I clean the house like mad every day, and the situation will not remedy, it is shutting down my immune system and hurting my metabolism, and I am now gaining weight. Doctors only give me MORE antihistamines. Do you have any ideas!?
