I'm just wondering if anyone experiences this. If I scratch my skin it turns red easily, or if I sit my elbows on legs for small amount of time they turn red quickly. It's like the inflammation is so high everything that touches me or how I sit turns red.

My skin has always been like that. I guess I've never given it much thought.

My daughter has this same problem and she doesn't have fibro. She just doesn't scratch if she can help it. 😊

Always been this way--fair-skinned, Northern European ancestry. I cross my legs--get red marks. Unless this is new--I wouldn't worry.

Does it seem a little raised?

If it does, it's called dermagraphia. It's a histamine reaction in the skin. It can last a few weeks to a lifetime.
I had it for almost a year. There's nothing really to do about it. There's no cure and it's not harmful.

It's not raised just very red easily. It seems likes it's been newer but I'm also very fair and have the red/pink undertones. All my new symptoms in my body I'm experiencing are so different and possibly I've had this my whole life but my anxiety is just heightened to any weird thing I can find because I feel like I'm experiencing new symptoms daily!

I know the feeling. My body started rebelling 12 years ago and it seems something new is happening everyday. My latest thing is upper lip twitching and vitiligo. Sigh....

Relax, try not to over think everything.
