Skin irritation to shirt material?

Ok I work as a bellboy/valet. When I first started working there I never really had any allergy's to clothing and never had any irritations on my skin, particularly on my back. But now, on my back there is a horrible irritation on both sides of upper back developed ever since I got the job 2 months ago. I really had no idea where it came from and thought it was just a bad case of acne on my back but the more I think about it I think its from the material of my uniform from work. Its is 60% cotton and 40% polyester! ITS KILLIN MY BACK AND NECK WITH REDNESS THAT IS SO SENSITIVE!!HELP!!

Reply:put some savlon on it or windex.
Reply:Do you launder your own uniforms or does your employer have a laundry service who cleans them? Could be an allergy to a detergent used in the laundry.

Go to your supervisor and ask them about alternatives? Go to a Dr get soem creme for it!


Or make your own remedy out of corn starch and water......good luck! hope your back /skin feel better soon!
Reply:How is your uniform jacket cleaned? Are you allergic to the dry cleaning or laundry detergent?





Do you get sweaty under your uniform? Is it made of synthetic material? If your skin can't get air when you are sweating, it can cause a rash.





You could be allergic to the polyester thread that is used to sew the armpits %26amp; sleeves, that has happened to me.





I recommend that you wear a 100% cotton undershirt that you wash in a perfume-and-dye free detergent and rinse twice.


You can also use Stitch Witchery to bond some soft white cotton fabric to the inside of your uniform jacket.





Good luck!
