    Default Allergic

    So I have had this awful rash on my breasts for a couple weeks, unfortunately I had to finally go to a doctor, ugh! But it turns out, I developed some form of allergy to the nylon material that normal bra's are made out of. So now which I should have done a while ago am online to find great organic hemp brands, anyone know any? I have to wear them which is a shame I would love not too but I'm too big.

    soushine, I would also say take this time to find out exactly what was in that bra, to prevent you other disasters in things like shoes, whatever else. For instance, is it a latex allergy, then medical professionals will have to stay away from you with the latex gloves, etc...

    Now especially with all this stuff made in China, there are sometimes other irritants in stuff.

    Check out this link about Walmart flip flops and "chemical burns" (warning LOL pictures of FEET )

    http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors...-flipflops.htm

    I would write to the manufacturer/the store, and want to know what was in that to prevent future occurrences. They should be aware that their product has caused you this -- it could be fault with the product, not you! If there is poisonous stuff or irritants involved that shouldn't be there, something should be done.

    You may be able to find a cotton bra in the meantime at a store, or google hemp stuff, or hopefully someone will be by with a hemp solution they're happy with.

    First, I would get a second opinion to make sure that it is indeed a rash and not inflammatory breast cancer. This type of cancer resembles a rash and is very aggressive. I remember watching a special a few years ago on breast cancer and it featured several women who'd been treated fo various types of breast cancer. Some were being treated and others were breast cancer survivors. Several indicated that they were misdiagnosed. At least one had inflammatory breast cancer. They showed pictures and it looked like a rash.

    In the meantime, I would do as the other posters have indicated. Most likely, it is a rash.
