Red marks after being touched?

My daughter is 2 and over the last few days I've noticed that whenever I touch her on her arms or chest/back it leaves red marks on her skin. If I pick her up it leaves marks on her. Even her clothes (collar of her shirts, arms, and the top of her pants) leave red marks on her. It doesn't matter how light she is touched, it always leaves a red mark. This goes away after 10 to 15 minutes. I'm wondering if it may be a symptom of something that I need to get checked out?

Hello,
Your daughter seems to be having dermatographism. Dermatographism can be caused by stress, tight or abrasive clothing, watches, glasses, energetic kissing, heat, cold, or anything that causes stress to the skin. In many cases it is merely a minor annoyance, but in some rare cases symptoms are severe enough to impact a patient's life.

It can be treated by antihistamines or cromoglicate and sometimes steroids, as they prevent the histamine from causing the reaction. As the underlying cause of dermographism is not known, it can last for many years without relief.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
