14 month old with hives from being touched.

My 14 month old DD seems to get hives from anything at all touching her skin, if we tickle her, kiss her tummy, is a cuff of her clothes is slightly tight (not enough to squeeze the skin but normal sizing) she comes up in hives all over the area that been touched.
My eldest son was playing a game with her yesterday, pretending to be a puppy and mouthing her (no teeth, just lips) and her whole body was covered for ages, she doesn't seem bothered by it but it look awful and People comment.

Is it a recognised condition and if it's not bothering her should I take her to a GP to been looked at?

I would definitely take her to the GP.

Dermatagraphism - skin writing. DD has it. Diagnosed by consultant at children's hospital. She now takes a daily antihistamine and has piriton if it gets too annoying. She does have other allergies but none of it serious, just annoying. She's grown out of the hives a lot now at 12.

So GP first for dermatology referral I would say. And don't panic, she'll be fine! It will just look dramatic!

It is a thing, can't remember what it's called, but it isn't harmful. Take her to the gp to ease your mind.

Managed to Google it. Look up dermatographia.

Cross post! Slow typing.

Here's a picture of DD's arm after her little brother totally denied slapping her!

The only problem is that it can be very itchy and scratching can damage the skin. It looks like DS2 may have developed it too.

Hello
Any update on it please? Seems my DD 8 is having it too.
Giving her piriton atm. Does it relate to any allergies?
Thank you
