Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Following the lady who worte about a visit to her doctor and said she had Dermatographism. I too experienced the same thing. I went to a dermatolagist and he did a similar test only on my back, and sure enough i showed a reaction after several minutes. He said that I had dermagraphica which does agrevate rosacea which is what I had originally been referred to him for. He said that I should avoid touching. rubbing putting my hands on my face as this agrevates the skin and causes more redness etc. He has given me tetrlysal in a small dosage, and advised that i need to take this for a minimum of 6-8 mths before I notice a difference. He also prescribed me Zirtec for the dermagraphica. Tina Re: Re: Sty's on eyelids Dayle, Actually the sty or chalizion on my eyelid that I have had for years isn't painful at all. It sits right in the crease of my eyelid so it's not really even noticeable. I can just tell it's there when I close my eye and there's a little lump. I have done everything to make it go away I am sure I'll have to have it drained sometime. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
