Woah! I have the same condition!! Im just 14 and i found out i had this condition when i was 12 , when i was surfing through the web about people who can write on their skin through the wikipedia.
She's one of the lucky ones. I have the same condition, only my welts are triggered through my fingernails and are incredibly painful. I've had it for a little over a year now and I'd give anything for there to be a cure!
Anti-histamine is a GOD SEND through! Where would I be without it? =)
Her story could be mine. Dermatographia doesn't hurt and is a great party trick :) The only problem with it is that if I innocently scratch an itch I end up with horrible welts.
@ilovetocmmt I know what you mean, I have cats and for some reason their scratches cause a very similar reaction, but this disorder means it can be done using something very light (I just tried it now lightly pulling my nail across my arm and it came up like this).
Totally a allergic reaction. Specially using a metal knitting thing. I'm allergic to all metals any creams or face washes with zinc. Allergic to change ! Dimes pennies. Was thinkin might be the same for her
@curvaciousMammi I am allergic to metal but just found out I have this today and used a plastic biro to lightly draw on my skin and it did exactly the same. I have contact dermatitis too my skin is generally a bit weird lol. There must be something causing it though, you're right. Thing is cos my skin was always so sensitive, I have always been so careful using very basic natural products but still I have this. I do wash a lot though, maybe that has worn my skin out.
@curvaciousMammi Oh and you're right, it is exactly the same as an allergic reaction but apparently it's not- your skin cells release histamines (same as when you have an allergy) but not as an allergic response, only because it was scratched or rubbed. Weird.
This is amazing, I have the same condition but never thought much of it until I randomly came across this video. She has an amazing work, quite interesting!! :o)
I think using the word, "vulnerable" while describing what her skin makes her feel like, might be a little too much. Sometimes people make such a simple concept, so much more than it actually is

Right before a test, I'd bet the teacher would check your forearms to make sure that you weren't cheating (I'm sure she didn't, but the idea stands)
