Hi lybrate-user Your friend most probably has dermatographia. Its highly likely due to an exaggerated allergic response to any minor stimulant. She can take symptomatic treatment in the form of ice application, anti inflammatories and anti histaminics to relieve the symptoms. Feel free to contact me for further queries and solutions. Regards Dr. Kunal Aneja.
