Red patches that inflame if scratched.

2018-01-18 23:24:19
I get red patches of skin on my arms and neck that if I scratch it , it will become raised, white and blotchy. Started suddenly about 3 years ago and it happens everyday, usually evenings and nights. The red blotches usually go away after about 20 minutes. I think it's called dermatographia but I'm not sure. Is there any cure for this?
