Dermatographic urticaria

Dermatographic urticaria, also known as dermatography or skin writing, is a skin disorder in which the affected area becomes inflamed when touched. The swelling typically disappears within 15 to 30 minutes, but may in extreme cases last for days. Lots of people with this condition like to write and draw stuff on their skin.

Last October, Koranic verses "appeared" on the leg of a Russian Muslim baby. The idiot doctors in the strongly Muslim region can't explain this naturally occurring phenomenon. It happens when the fundamentalist parents decide to write shit on their child's skin to propagandize the easily gullible--i.e., the general Muslim population. Naturally, Muslims all around the world are claiming this is a divine sign. At one point, up to 2,000 of them a day knocked on the family's door to see the "miracle baby."

And that, my friends, is what dermatographic urticaria is.
