Complications
By Mayo Clinic staffDermatographia generally is harmless. It leaves no lasting marks and often causes only minor symptoms. However, dermatographia can be uncomfortable. If it's linked to allergies, determining what you're allergic to may help. If dermatographia is a problem for you, work closely with your doctor to manage it.
In many people, the condition gets better over time, although it can be unpredictable.
