Hi. Greetings. This may not be related to your room mate. However, this looks to be symptomatic dermographism - a type of urticaria. This can be managed by using oral antihistamines and by avoiding snatching. See a dermatologist near you for work up if the problem is chronic or troublesome. Warm regards, Dr Govind S Mittal, excel care hospital, Bangalore
