What is neoprene?side effect on the body
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rubber: Neoprene is the material found in SCUBA wet suits and other compression type athletic apparel. Unless you are allergic to it wearing neoprene does not negatively affect the body. It will cause you to sweat profusely so you might experience a heat rash from wearing it.
