Skin scratches?

i hve got random scratches on my skin since i was young. they will dissapear in a day. and they come in random spots of 3 on my stomach, arms, back and now face... i do not own a cat or dog and i have not scratched myself because i bite my nails and the scratches are not raised....

Skin scratches?
Sounds like a physical urticaria, though it might be a cholinergic urticaria...or cold urticaria.





If it is, it is nothing harmful and there is nothing to worry about.





If it is bothersome to you, talk to a doctor...especially a dermatologist about treatment.





Or, you could just try taking over-the-counter Benadryl regularly to see if it goes away. This is first line treatment for this.





There is some helpful information here:

Hope this helps some!
