A member asked:

Could small red itchy welts on my body be an allergy to dryer sheets?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Dryer sheets are known to irritate skin, but before you blame the allergy on the sheets, try to investigate if food, wool, perfume, or insect bites including bed bugs could be the culprits.

A member asked:

Hi, so my face is itchy, turning red and black. This has been going on for a while. Why is it doing it? Could it be seasonal allergies? Because I am around trees in my house and I'm wondering if that's what causing it. It's also dry skin on my cheek?
