As long as I take a daily antihistamine I'm okay. But if I run out, I start itching and itching and itching! All I can do it try not to scratch because I know it will just make it itch worse! I had a doctor diagnose it when I was a kid. She scratched my arm with her fingernails and then watched as it turned red and welts puffed up. My nephew somehow inherited it from me (poor little guy!). But basically, I'm good as long as I take a daily antihistamine. Sometimes I scratch my neck or something and it turns all red and people are all like, "What on earth happened to your neck?!?!" I try to explain my skin turns red really easily and people always just look at me funny.
