Red Welts with Scratching

I am so glad to see this site and that I'm not alone on this! I'm a senior in high school now and I've been having this skin hives condition since sixth grade. I found out I had this condition one day when I was scratching my back a lot. After clawing back I felt long bumps across my skin. I went to check my back with a mirror and saw these long lashes of red welts everywhere around my back – a pretty wicked sight for a sixth grader.

At the beginning I thought that it was really cool to be able to write and draw on your skin. But it got real annoying sometimes, especially when you have cousins that think it is really funny to scratch you every time they see you. I've been worrying about this ever since I had it, but I no longer have to worry now thanks to this site!
THANK YOU!!
