The triple response of Lewis is a cutaneous response that occurs from firm stroking of the skin, which produces an initial red line, followed by a flare around that line, and then finally a wheal. It is an exemple of an inflammation reaction. The signs of this are rubor= redness, tumor= swollen area, calor= warmth, sometimes followd by dolor= pain and function lesion. All may be found at the inflammation page in Wikippedia. [1][2]
