Dr. Ogden discusses contact dermatitis from fashion

Irritating Fabrics and Allergic Reactions

Certain kinds of fabrics are more likely to cause irritation and allergic reactions, says Neeta Ogden, MD, an adult and pediatric allergist in private practice in New York City. "Interestingly wool fabrics in particular can cause allergic reactions in people, typically called contact dermatitis," she says. "It's an itchy rash that can sometimes even have bumps on it and seems chronic." People who have sensitive skin or a history of eczema are at a higher risk of irritation from these fabrics, Dr. Ogden says, as are people who have allergies in general.
