Dr. Kaur, above, gave you the best advice. It is a contact allergy. I happen to be allergic to nylon. It is not systemic; I have trouble with nylon underclothing. Systemic antihistamines do not work for me.
I have since then been to specialist with my daughter and have found she has ' Chronic Urticarea" She still cannot wear tight clothing like bra's but at least now we have a diagnosis. The mystery is partially solved. She has to have 2 antihistimines a day to help her but it is baby steps from here on in.
Can anyone please suggest where to buy bra's that don't have the exposed elastic stuff as this may be what is triggering the reaction???
Hello,
It looks like the hives appear due to allergy to the texture of cloth of the bra.I would advise you to try 100%cotton bra with no prior treatment of bra with formaldehyde and also to wash the cotton ones before wearing them.Pure cotton is less likely to cause hives.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.
