Dermatographism, also known as skin scratch urticaria, is an allergic reaction involving the blood vessels of the skin. This type of allergic response generally results from the combined effects of internal and external factors. Dermatographism, also referred to as artificial urticaria, is a special form of urticaria. It is characterized by local swelling and raised wheal-like marks appearing on the skin after scratching with a fingernail or rubbing with a blunt object. It is the most common type of physical or mechanical urticaria and is frequently seen in young people.
