8 XXX : normalnudes

So this is something I have been extremely self conscious about for a long time but I'm trying to learn to love it. Dermatographia is sometimes known as skin writing. Every time something scratches me or rubs against my skin (even if it is soft) I get these raised hive-like welts that are incredibly itchy. My body basically releases chemicals like I am having an allergic reaction every time I get scratched. It is not painful, but people always ask me what's wrong, especially if it's on my neck or face. I have had people mistake them for self harm scars and refer me to counseling. I'm just here to say, this is just how my skin is and I will learn to love it.
(Serious question) What is it like for you to shave? I'm thinking pretty difficult?
I think you are beautiful in every way.
