I get a rash when I wear a bra

Feb 14, 2011

BASING on the symptoms, it could be an allergy. Some people develop allergies when they come in contact with certain objects. Contact dermatitis is a term for a skin reaction resulting from exposure to allergens.

Dear Doctor,
Whenever I wear a belt or bra, and when it is very cold or hot, my skin itches, develops a rash and becomes pale. I also get black spots. What causes this?

Dear Edith,
BASING on the symptoms, it could be an allergy. Some people develop allergies when they come in contact with certain objects. Contact dermatitis is a term for a skin reaction resulting from exposure to allergens.

The black spots often come as a result of the itchiness.
For how long have you had this condition? Have you changed the bras and belts you wear?

Wearing a belt or bra may cause you to sweat underneath, leading to itching. See a doctor for help.
