A member asked:
Anyone recommend a fabric softener for someone with allergies and sensitive skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First get tested: Fabric softener is a rather complex substance. There can be a number of things in it that can cause a contact dermatitis. I would suggest you see an allergist or dermatologist for patch testing to see if the particular chemical in your fabric softener can be identified.
