Yeah, I didn’t realize this was not everyone’s reaction until I was well into adulthood. I can literally not touch one at all, and before I know it, it looks like I scratched it til it bled…but I didn’t. (Welt with an opening in the middle, that scabs over) Growing up my parents always just accused me of scratching them too much and that I just needed to resist. Well, I tried that, and my skin still reacted that way. Very unfair.
