A member asked:

Can you have an allergic reaction to fabric softener sheets rubbed on the face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Absolutely. It is a chemical reaction. Obviously avoid rubbing them on your face...If you feel like being a detective cut the ingredients part off the box and compare to any other fabric softeners you may wish to use...This may hemp you find exactly what chemical you reacted to.
