Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
It seems that you are allergic to cotton.It is very rare but can happen.
If you have this itchiness every time you wear a cotton shirt and it doesn't happen with other types pf materials ,then a cotton allergy is most likely cause.
There is no much you can do in this case,apart form avoiding cotton clothes.
Symptomatic treatment for the itchiness ,when it happens ,can help .You can take an antihistaminic drug like Benadryl.
I am sorry t tell you this but if you are allergic to cotton ,all you can do is to avoid cotton clothes.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
