do you think is an allergy from detergent?

Question

this weekend I had an itchy rash on my face, ears, neck, arms, and a little on my legs... its not like a red rash, but like little bumps on my skin.

What could it be from? I'm guessing my skin is senesittive to my dad's detergent.

i used to use his detergent all the time and never had anything wrong with me. I use other stuff at my place but took my clothes home so I didn't have to go to the luandry mat.. karma? :)

He uses Tide..

Answer 1

could be, I am allergic to something in Tide and cannot use it. I had an itchy rash when I used it.

Answer 2

Are you sure this is the first time ever you used your dad's detergent or is it the first time you have had a reaction to it? Give it a few days before seeing a pharmacist or doctor. If it does not subside, remember all sorts of things can trigger a skin rash. I am subject to skin allergies which come and go fairly quickly and so I don't worry about them but if your rash does not get better, you should have it examined, perhaps beginning with a nurse.

Answer 3

I don't think so. You see, you don't wear clothes on your face or ears.

These are all extremities ... I'm betting it's not the detergent. It's not the shampoo or conditioner (since it would be on your trunk too). Have you used a sunscreen, tanning, or bug repellent product? It seems like you were covered by clothes and the open skin got it.

Answer 4

if that is the only thing u have used differently it probably is go back to your old detergent and see if you continue to break out. if you do go to the dr.

Answer 5

It is possible. I would use different detergent. If you still have it go to a doctor asap.

Answer 6

yes the laundry detergent. I recommend Cheer FREE. It is FREE of all dyes, deodorants and so on.
