How can I reduce my risk of developing dermatographia?

The following can help reduce your risk of developing dermatographia:

  • Avoid rubbing or scratching your skin.
  • Wear loose clothing made from smooth materials that wick away moisture.
  • Avoid itchy clothing, such as wool.
  • Use a mild soap for your bath or shower, and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it.
  • Apply a moisturizing cream or ointment immediately after drying your skin to help seal in the moisture.
  • Take baths or showers with lukewarm water, not hot water.
  • Use a humidifier.
  • Learn to recognize stress in your life and how to manage it.
