I also developed a rash while wearing VS bras. I'm wondering if any of you have experienced other health problems in addition to the rash. Shortly after the rash first appeared, I started getting irregular periods, and severe headaches. Has anyone here experienced something similar? Please let me know.
I also have had an allergic reaction to these bras. I am really POed because i am not getting any answers from Victorias Secret. I am waiting for a supervisor to call me back after three days. I obviously need medical attention as i am suffering from blisstered rashes under both my breast as well as itching and a headache. My husband bought me several of these bras for Valentines Day and I can now see that this problem has been going on since 2008 - why the heck are they still selling these bras that are harming women. I am reading some serious allegations of how these bras are manufactured and I need to know - what is what! So since I am unemployed and have no health insurance at this time - I am going to utilize my research abilities to find out what their deal is.
I think it is unacceptable of Victorias Secret to sweep this matter under the rug - I demand answers.
this rash starts in the obvious places - BOTH BREASTS, then spreads all the way up to and as far as my neck (thank god not my face! i'd DIE) down my sides of torso belly and down as far as hips, legs and back!!!! :( :( :( ITS THE BRAS!? i am convinced!!! - because of where the rash starts!!! I am VERY upset to know that VS does not care or take this seriously! the doctors dont even know what it is! - all they say is it must be a food allergy or an allergic reaction to some supplement or medication or !? !? !? on and on - not once did a dr or dermatologist say it could be from CLOTHING or UNDERGARMENTS - they were clueless!!! (duh where the rash starts (boobs!) is the CLUE!!!) cause the rash was in such weird places on the body and SPREADS and gets scabby, my skin feels like sandpaper!!! - if i do not get the creme for the rash, then have to lotion up constantly with the rx creme and Sarna Sensitive lotion until it subsides - cannot even wear a bra during one of these rashy breakout episodes and soon as i put the bra back on it came back!!! thats how i KNOW its the damn bra!!! :( I certainly HOPE that a good lawyer will take this case against VS!!! since it seems they do not care about customer safety, which is really just irresponsible and scary just to make $$$ these bras r not cheap! we spend good $$$ on them - becasue they fit and do last a long time, until the underwire pops thru the material then I trash it, but will now be trashing them ALL - ugh and have 1 last NEW ONE i never even wore yet too!!! :( :( :( hope someone contacts me - definitely want to be in the lawsuit with all the rest who r suffering from this atrocious condition!!! ~atl 732-558-8764
So i have the same thing going on and i just got an angel bra from vs in noveber and it started after trying on bras i bought one the same day i tried them on and never wore the new bra bc of everything going on my dermatalogist finally gave me a cream and an antibiotic amd it went away as soon as i put new bra on the abcess came back
I had the same experience with a wonderbra. It took a year and a half after finally being diagnosed with dermatitis (7 types) and yes I was sure there were chemicals in that specific bra. It burned like acid and created sores that were along the area where the straps and back are. I had no idea this was so common.
