Darier's sign

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0025081


A skin change elicited by briskly rubbing the skin lesion in urticaria pigmentosa (UP), whereby the area begins to itch and becomes raised and surrounded by erythema. Unlike other forms of dermatographism, Darier's sign refers to urtication that is limited to the UP involved areas and, as in this case, spares the skin unaffected by UP. [ PMID:24701633 ]
