Rash or welts on body?

Does anyone have a RASH or welts on their body? Could it be from La Senza or Victoria's Secret bras? I do. I work for the company and all my colleagues have symptoms of an allergic reaction including: Rash, Hives and/or Welts, burning skin with profuse itching, chest irritation, eye irritation, esophagus and stomach burning.

Hi, welcome to the forum, your symptoms are suggestive of irritant dermatitis. It seems secondary to the garments  and sweating will worsen the condition.

Firstly, you need to get investigated for possibility of allergen (due to clothes, dye or other allergen where you work).

- White petrolatum or Zinc oxide cream can be used which acts as protective barrier.
- Use of powders such as cornstarch or talcum powder is also helpful.
- Low potency topical glucocorticoids and oral anti histaminics against prescription can be helpful.

I suggest you to consult dermatologist. Take care and regards.
