A member asked:

New laundry detergent caused me to get a skin rash on my legs and behind my knees. now it seems behind my knees is a little swollen. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop: Stop using the new detergent and switch to one without harsh chemicals or fragrances..Something like ivory or similar store brands...See your family doc for a check of the symptoms to make sure that is what it actually is....
