ODD for OCD: That you 'hope' it's not true is surprising - would you rather it be an irrational concern or a psychosomatic symptom? Yes, it can be very irritating to sensitive skin - it's possible and fairly common. 100% cotton is recommended for such folk in sensitive areas especially. Here's info: http://www.healthguideinfo.com/skin-allergies/p100255/ Direct skin contact is not too hard to minimize. Best!
