If you're referring to skin rashes or itching from other than soft textured clothing, you could avoid wearing them altogether or you could try taking a nonsedating antihistamine like claritin before putting those clothes on to prevent rashes and itching.

By irritated, do you mean a physical response or an emotional type of irritation? If you mean that certain textures and lighting upset you emotionally, you might benefit from systematic desensitization therapy. This is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that can help you learn to tolerate specific irritants. Find a psychologist who specializes in this type of therapy.
