skitch

A potentially contagious skin condition, where the afflicted person subconsciously scratches the facial and neck areas, thus leaving flush/red lines, also known as "skitch marks". Skitch sufferers are rarely aware of problem until others near them point it out. Outbreaks are known to occur during family gatherings and dinners. Some skitch sufferers have been known to draw blood. There is currently no known cure for the skitches. A research team of dermatologists are currently working for a possible vaccine, however for the time being, afflicted patients are advised to keep their nails short to prevent dreaded "skitch marks" or "skitchdaddles".
