Hello Mam, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM. It appears from your query that you have a problem of "dermographism" in which the skin becomes raised and inflamed when rubbed, stroked and scratched trivially also. This is a common and simple problem of your age group (you must be between 20-30 years). This is caused by the breaking of a cell "mast cells" under the of skin surface by which a chemical is released causing the skin to swell in the affected areas. In most of the cases it is not found that what is the exact cause of mast cell breakage. This remains for few hours only but in your case as you said remains for around two days. This can be treated very well with antihistamine drugs taken under medical advice. There is no problem in planning the baby as it do not hamper that process. Hope it helps. with good health wishes, Dr Sanjay K Kanodia MD ( Dermatology)
