Calamine Lotion for Itchy Dermographism

Its so weird! I think I have dermographism because when I scratch an itch, it becomes unbearable and marks start appearing on my skin and a rash forms around the area. Also when I scratch an area, my whole body starts to itch! Sometimes I don't itch that bad for a couple days but then the itchiness comes back and I hate it. I am also in football and it sucks because we hit in pads and when I hit I start getting itchy immediately.

So that is my dermographism story. I have been itchy for two months now and want it to be gone. I also use Top Care Calamine lotion when I am itchy. It helps a bit when your itchy. When you put it on your skin, you will still feel the itchiness but the lotion makes the itch last for only a few seconds at a time and the lotion works for about 6 hours at a time.

Anyways, thanks for making this page and I hope I can talk to you about dermographism.
