How to treat severe contact dermatitis from allergic reaction to neoprene in ankle brace ?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Contact Dermatitis: Try wrapping your ankle with gauze or something gentle to avoid your skin coming in contact directly with the neoprene. You could also try neoprene or latex free ankle braces. Avoiding direct contact is best.
