FYI
A while back I went to the Dr. with a very 'itchy' rash that formed in the area around and above my ankles. As soon as I showed the doc he said,'That's an easy one, like a lot of people you're allergic to fabric softener. Just quit using it.' I told Carol, she quit and the problem was solved.

Description
Contact dermatitis is the technical name for a reaction on the skin when it makes contact with an offending allergen, such as fabric softener. Mayo Clinic explains that the signs and symptoms of a fabric softener reaction can include a red rash or bumps, itching, pain, tenderness or a localized skin rash.
