What Causes Randomly Occurring Lines From Inner Legs To Ankles?

I have these lines that appear randomly, mostly after exercise but also sometimes from just sitting or walking. They are perfectly straight on my inner leg from my ankle to my knee on both legs. I dont get any pain or reaction from them, i was wondering what could be causing these.

My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!

I have analyzed your problem and feel that it is Dermographism in which a person develops elongated rash of raised skin lines and some itching along the lines of scratch pr pressure.

This is seen in many normal individuals and hardly needs a treatment unless it interferes with your routines. To my patients of this condition, I prescribe low doses of anti allergic like Cetirizine in strengthen of 5 mg per day to tide over periods when Dermographism is bothersome and no medication for the remaining periods.

I am sure you will benefit from the same line of action

Best wishes
