Allergic reaction to underwear band?
Crazy!

I go out of town on business and I purchase, new t-shirts, socks, and comfy hanes underwear.

After a couple days, I notice a few red marks where my underwear band is located. The next day a complete rash where my lily white skin was. No itching just these red bumps. Then all heck breaks out! I look like a leper.
All red rashes with blistering. Could this be a skin allergy or something more?

I get home and try the usual suspects. Calamine lotion. Took avenno baths etc, cortaid, etc. Now these bumps turned into these blisters that ooze clear liquid. For a few days the pain was so intense I couldn't sleep thru the nite. Its bad enough when you have a tummy that presses against clothing. But its just horrendous when you get these blisters in the folds of your waistline. Ouch!

I'm at wits end! Everytime I take a bath, these bumps or blisters seem to fill with moisture. Again, they don't itch but its awful hard to put clothes on. I can wander around the rest of my days without underwear on.

Anybody know what I should be doing to treat this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
