I have a decidedly odd case of contact dermatitis (e.g. a rash). ( Details behind the cut )

Guh! The list of possibilities is too long! Latex in the elastic? Detergent? Something spilled on them?

In any case, you have all the empathy in the world from someone who developed a latex sensitivity from working on ambulances. Old socks drive me up a wall, now!

It doesn't have the kind of pattern I'd expect of something that was related to clothing contact or a laundry detergent allergy. There's not a rash in every spot where clothing is in constant contact with my skin, it's just in these little localized spots. If anything, the spots look more like a splatter pattern, except I can't imagine what would splatter my left side from armpit to waist and miss my arm. I guess it could be something spilled on my clothes, but again, I don't know *what*. It's very frustrating, because unless I know what's caused it, I won't know how to remove the trigger. :P
