Woman's paper skin a walking notepad by World_Groove

Typically Urticaria covers a wide range of rashes, but in this instance it appears to make you into a Human etchosketch.


A Chengdu resident suffers from a condition that allows her to use her skin like writing paper.

According to 50-year-old Huang Xiangji, when she writes a word on her skin using a fingernail, the letters protrude from her skin a minute or two later.

"I used my body as a notebook for years," Huang said.

The woman said she had the strange ability even as a little girl and would list goods on her arms before going shopping.

On Wednesday, doctors told Huang that she had the condition called artificial urticaria, which has no ill affects.

Finding a way to "cause" this condition could put tattoo parlors out of business !!
