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.
