Red Blotchy Rash On Chest, Red Marks On Skin, Have Psoriasis. Was Suggested Dermagraphia. How To Cure?
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 don't want to be having to worry about red rashes all over my skin! Can you suggest anything that may help?!
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
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 involve young ones. Its treatment involves antihistaminics.
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 luck

You should have a second opinion from a dermatologist and/or haematologist...
Dermographism / Vasculitis / bleeding diathesis have to be investigated...
Some basic blood tests are also necessary...
Immuno suppressant drugs help in psoriasis...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
