My toddler since she is born has a reaction when her skin is touched, it gets red on that area. I always get comments from her new caretaker every year if she has allergies as it pops out of the blue. Lately when she gets touched her skin gets red and has a white raised interior. If you understand what I mean. Any one has this?
Some clarification she has very light skin and touched means something stronger then a light brush.

Red with a raised white bump sounds like hives. Is it itchy? Is she reacting to your washing powder/sprays/perfumes/household cleaning products/dust/mould etc? Or to some food maybe?
Probably best to get a referral to an allergy specialist.

Not at all itchy goes away after a few minutes of being touched. It looks weird for those few minutes. This symptoms come and go sometimes it's just red sometimes with white inside.

Sounds interesting. If it doesn’t bother her I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

My brother has this, it’s called dermatographia. He used to always use it to get out of class and play tic tac toe on his skin LOL

, but he said it’s mildly uncomfortable. As an adult now it’s a lot better but he has occasional flare ups.

Was there a white interior too? I have tried googling so many times and nothing comes up.
What your brother has is even more stronger then her symptoms.

Sounds like dematographia and that’s usually caused by excess histamine.

If I remember correctly it was light pink raised lines. He said when he went to a dermatologist it was immediately identified, so if you really want to get to the bottom of this, that may be your best route.
