Alright, so for a very long time I've realized that whenever I scratch myself or somethin' rubs against my skin too hard it always broke out in hives. As always, I didn't think too much of it and just thought it was normal. Recently, I have discovered that it is in fact not normal and not everyone has this issue.
After some research, I discovered that this is called dermatographia, and very little it known about it (oh joy).
So yeah, thought I'd see if anyone in the guild has the same thing. It's supposed to affect about 4-5% of the population.

Not me.
But I have Keratosis Pilaris, which is little red dots on my upper arms. It's genetic and pretty common. My mother had it, and my brother has it a lot worse - all over his arms and legs.
It's just a cosmetic issue, though, and isn't as bad as when I was a teenager - I have a ton of itty bitty dot scars from scratching at it back then.

Yeah, I have a toe and finger nail fungus that's just cosmetic. My mom wants me to go on drugs to get rid of it, but the amount of medication it would take to get rid of it all would probably put out my liver first. I'm fine with it. It just grosses some people out.
