SKIN WRITING OR DERMATOGRAPHIA.

Harini Kak Pilla nak jadi doktor pulak hahaha...

Siapa tau pasal skin writing ni?  Aku pun baru-baru jugak tau sebab Kasih ada dermatographia ni.. Aku taknak lah panggil benda ni penyakit.. Tapi dalam beribu orang mungkin ada sorang yang ada dermatographia ni.

Aku perasan Kasih tu jenis kulit dia takde lah allergy sangat ke apa.. Cuma nanti tetiba kat pipi ke ada bengkak mcm bergaris.. Tanya dia kenapa tu? Dia cakap ntah.. tadi gatal garu lah.. Terus bengkak.. Pastu kejap kang hilang pulak bengkak tu.. 

So muka dia kadang bergaris bengkak sana sini tapi sekejap je.. Sampai lah ke kulit dia yang lain-lain especially kat badan.. Dia tak boleh scratch kulit dia nanti akan jadi bengkak bergaris.

Rupanya memang wujud benda ni.. Contoh macam gambar kat atas ni.. Semalam Kasih pakai baju kelawar.. tetiba dia datang kat aku dia cakap "Mama tengok belakang kasih"

Tekejut beruk aku... bergaris penuh gila mengerikannn.. Padahal dia garu-garu biasa je mcm kita garu kalau gatal.. 

 Contoh macam ni.. Tapi ni corak bunga hahhaha.. Kasih penuh macam ni kesan dia garu tu.. Seram tau tak... 

 Ko mampu tulis kat kulit macam ni? (Gambar semua google ya)

So aku pun startlah buat research sikit pasal Dermatographia / Skin Writing ni..

What is Dermatographia?

Dermatographia is a condition also known as skin writing. When people who have dermatographia lightly scratch their skin, the scratches redden into a raised wheal similar to hives. These marks usually disappear within 30 minutes.

The cause of dermatographia is unknown, but it can be triggered in some people by infections, emotional upset or medications such as penicillin.

Most people who have dermatographia don't seek treatment. If your signs and symptoms are especially bothersome, your doctor may recommend allergy medications such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

Triggered by:

• stress
• a history of allergies
• excessive rubbing from clothing or bedding
• infections
• certain medications, including penicillin
• exercises that cause excessive skin rubbing (such as wrestling)

Alternative treatments:

• oatmeal
• tea tree oil
• aloe vera
• rice bran broth

Prevention:

• Avoid itchy clothes and bedding. Wool and synthetic materials are common skin irritants.
• Use soaps without fragrance. These added chemicals and dyes can make your skin itchy.
• Take cool or lukewarm showers.
• Use a humidifier during cool, dry months.
• Moisturize your skin daily. For best results, use a moisturizing lotion or cream within a few minutes of bathing.
• Avoid scratching your skin if possible. Treating itchy skin can help avoid scratches.
• Manage your stress. Exercise, adequate sleep, and meditation can alleviate a stressful lifestyle.

Lifestyle therapies:
Stress management may also reduce the risk of dermatographic flare-ups. Yoga and meditation utilize deep breathing exercises that can decrease stress. Regular exercise can also boost feel-good endorphins in the brain that can, in turn, prevent stress before it happens.

According to the NCCIH, relaxation techniques tend to be most helpful in children with the condition. If these types of lifestyle changes fail to improve your stress levels and subsequent skin symptoms, see your doctor for help.

Ok sampai part Stress Management tu aku macammmmm ermmmmm... Adakah Kasih ada ciri-ciri seorang yang sentiasa stress? Pastu baca jugak dermatographic ni selalu kena kat young adult.  Hmmmmm... Tapi kadang memang nampak dia suka stress benda yang ntah apa-apa... Sesikit mengadu itulah inilah... Chill sudah Kasih... Jangan stress-stress.. Kadang dia kalau cakap slow dan aku tak paham.. Bila tanya dia balik dia akan jawab "takde apalah".. Ehhhh tu menaikkan darah tu... So muka terus berubah macam stress sebab aku tak paham tapi sibuk suruh dia ulang balik.. Dah tu cakap tekemut-kemut mana aku nak paham or dengar.  

Atau adakah disebabkan dia stress dengan mak dia ni??? Hmmmmmmm... 

Tapi nasib baiklah Dermatographia ni bukan satu penyakit yang berbahaya ke apa.. So ibu-ibu yang ada anak Skin Writing ni jangan risau ya... Suruh je anak tulis kat badan "I LOVE U MAMA" 

Chill :)

Love, 
Filla.
