A member asked:

Everytime i wear jeans, or any type of pants like jeans i break out in small red real itchy bumps all over my legs. but not for any other pants. :(?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Irritant vs contact: You may have a contact allergy to one of the ingredients in your jeans. Another possibility is that jeans are worn tightly and may be rubbing on your skin whereas other types of pants are not usually that tight. See a dermatologist or allergist to get patch tested if you cannot avoid wearing jeans.
