Rashes on body after wearing old sweater. Is it dust allergy?
Two nights ago I wore an old sweater that I got out of storage to bed. It s wool, I think. When I woke up I was fine, but during the day I began to notice a rash around my neck and where the line of the collar of the sweater was. On the back of my neck and collar bone and extending almost up to underneath my chin . It hasn t spread and it hasn t gotten worse but I don t have a wool allergy . Was it just irritation from dust or something?

Hi there ~
It is probably allergy to the dust that was present on the collar of the sweater than the wool itself. It will go away after some time, however it is advisable to apply some hydrocortisone cream or any other anti allergy cream to help with the inflammation and irritation. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day !
