    Odd skin reactions.
    I had this odd skin case ever since I was a kid.
    Just pretend that I scratched my arm with four fingers. For my friends, nothing would happen to their arms if they scratched them.. but in my case..
    You would actually see the four scratch marks swell up and make four lines from where I started scratching. They're red and itchy. These marks stay on for about 10-20 minutes depending on how deep the scratch is.
    After a few minutes, they would recede and my arm would return back to normal.

    Someone please answer.
    I still get very concerned over this.

    To get into more detail.
    The swells turn into the shape of bumps.
    So you can see it easily if you happened to scratch me 5 minutes ago.

    You might have an allergic skin reaction. Symptoms can include a rash or hives, or swelling, itching, and cracking of the skin. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
