Sarah Beal can draw on her hand using the end of a spoon and then watch it disappear only minutes later.
She has a skin condition called dermatographia which means that the slightest scratch can cause her skin to swell.

Dermatographia is thought to be caused when the cells under the surface of the skin release histamines under the slightest pressure. This causes the skin to swell and triggers a type of allergic reaction.
