Suggest Remedy For Vaginal Burning Due To Allergy To Fabric
I'm allergic to quaternium, cobalt and nickel. I started having problems in vaginal area wearing a swimsuit. During time I have become unable to wear pants that have ANY spandex, ployester, blends, dark dyes, etc. Just recently, I'm having problems wearing even 100% cotton! Could this be a nerve ending problem or a skin problem? Should I go see a dermatologist, allergist (I've seen both) or a neurologist or rheumatologist? The vaginal area burns if I wear these fabrics and recently my legs started burning and arms. It feels like a mild sunburn on arms and legs. Vaginal area burns worse.

You are sufferring from severe skin sensivity. According to it might be due to clolor of the fabric.so,my request is to use a cotton wear of natural colour. or use khadi. other way is to apply any oil in affected area. it will prevent direct contact of cloth with skin by forming thin coating.
