It can be treated by antihistamines or cromoglicate, as they prevent the histamine from causing the reaction. The underlying cause of dermographism is not known, and can last for many years without relief. 95% of chronic cases are never solved. Sometimes the condition goes away, sometimes it stays forever. It is not a life threatening disease.

Speculation - hives seem to be a manifestation of irritation. If there is already something in your system that can be gotten rid of that helps trigger the hives it may be worth trying that angle. There are many things that detoxify, from the outside (where your skin lives) Epsom salts in a bath daily until is stops is cheep and may work.

Drink more water to rehydrate skin. Twice a day take 2 tbls. of apple cider vinegar in an 8 oz. glass of water. ACV really helps. Read the website about other cures.
