Ummm... there are probably more embarrassing things to be allergic to.
Trust me--
<-- latex allergic, here.
Me too. Don't ask.
Yep, me three!
Latex sensitive here too. But it's worse when you have to ask your DH if he has taken aspirin, ibuprofen and or sulfa drugs because you know that is just guaranteed hives.
I react to Pantene in a similar way, it's horrible. Tresemme causes automatic scalp peeling (not flakes, chunks), Suave is similar. My DH adds an added stressor with his sensitive to scents nose.
Using a few products now - Aussie, L'Oreal Sulfate Free and a product from the health food store (though Walmart carries it too). I cannot use them more than two days in a row. Makes for a very crowded bathroom.
I cannot use soap on most of my body - washcloth only and I don't stink, I promise. Hand soap is special ordered and probably not a good option for you - I find foaming soap cut with more water is better for me. I am using a glycerin bar (out of Kennesaw, GA) that has minimal ingredients as well. I cannot use soaps with extra germ killers (brain fart this morning).
