Allergy testing: It's possible to be allergic to certain materials called contact dermatitis. Also suspect could be detergents or fabric softener used on the clothing. A good first step is to get a patch test which is a panel of many common substances or chemicals known to cause allergic reactions. This is taped on the back and read after 48 and 72 hours.
