How do I treat rashes that were caused from possibly allergy to new pants material?

Q. I have these big gash like red marks on my legs and the bottom of my back, I think were caused by a 'no sweat' track pants I recently bought. Its incredibly itchy and the more I scratch obviously the worse it becomes.

I know it isnt poison ivy or anything, as it doesnt spread. It appeared shortly after I put these pants on.

A. Try washing it a few times. Most clothing manufacturers put stiffeners in fabric to make the manufacturing process easier. You could be having a reaction to the stiffener.

If you're still having problems, ditch the pants, but look at the label and remember what fabric the pants were made from, and don't buy it again.

Treat the itchy areas with a topical hydrocortisone cream. You might also want to take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl to blunt the histamine response you seem to be having with the pants. If OTC hydrocortisone doesn't do it, you might want to talk to your doc about getting a prescription cream like Synalar.
