Hi,I get a red blotchy rash on my chest after drinking alcohol, and also in emotional situations like when I feel upset, angry or stressed. I also get red marks on my skin easily, like after hugging someone, if a dog scratches me, if I scratch my skin etc. I first noticed the rach on my chest about 10 years ago but it only seems to be getting worse. A doctor recently suggested that I have dermagraphia. I have psoriasis and therefore very sensitive skin. My wedding is coming up and I dont want to be having to worry about red rashes all over my skin! Can you suggest anything that may help?!
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor I can understand your situation. I appreciate your effort to seek online support. Dermatograhic urticaria is a condition which involves inflammation of skin when it is scratched or rubbed. It is a type of allergic conditions. It mainly involves young ones. Its treatment involves antihistamines. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease, and it needs long and continuous treatment. I advise you to consult a qualified dermatologist for proper evaluation and, management. Meanwhile, try doing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga or meditation to alleviate stress and anxiety. Hope it helps Good luckRegards
