Does anyone here have this condition? It's when you break out into hives when you make some kind of rough contact with your skin, such as scratching. As a result, the direction in which you scratched in will slowly rise up into your skin like welps.

Wow, no. I've never heard of it either. Are there ointments for it?

Yeah. It's pretty rare. There's no definite cause and currently no cure, but it's not a particularly dangerous condition. I have it and it's really just annoying. The best thing is to just take antihistamines.
