How do you get rid of dermatographia?

Symptoms of dermatographia are generally mild. They usually go away within 30 minutes.

If your dermatographia is more severe and lasts longer than 30 minutes, treatment options include:

• Over-the-counter antihistamine capsules that you swallow with water.
• Prescription cromolyn, which helps block allergic reactions.
• Moisturizers that you apply to your affected areas.

Severe dermatographia that doesn’t respond to the above therapies may be treated with a prescription biologic therapy, which is injected.

Decreasing your stress can also help you get rid of dermatographia. Relaxation activities such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, breathing exercises and muscle relaxation can help decrease your stress and prevent dermatographia.
