Rules/Tips for Clothes for People with Dermatitis

Can anyone give me some rules or suggestions/tips for clothing for people with dermatitis? Because every time I wear denim jeans I have the worst pain as well as well as clothes or underwear with polyester, spandex, and rayon. What type of clothes and underwear and bras should I be wearing with what materials. And what are some good brands or stores to find these type of clothes that will help my dermatitis/eczema?

  1. Mohair sweaters and scratchy wool, even my own hair makes my skin itchy, especially on my neck. I try to wear natural fibers.

    1. I am on Dupxient, have been for 7 years. My skin is 100% better…but I wear all cotton all the time. I can’t wear polyester at all. My skin gets red.

      1. Hi - Great question! At home I just wear tracksuit bottoms and a light top all cotton based. lots of hoodies and baggy jumpers.

        1. If denim shorts said it was 99% cotton and 1% elastane does that mean it would be pretty comfortable even if it's made from denim. And the cotton would override the denim in comfort over pain?

          1. , I saw you posted a forum topic on this too! I'm confident if anyone in our community has some tips on what they have found helpful to them they will share it there! I think for bras, much like it is for your clothing, it's going to take a trial and error to see what is the most comfortable option for you. Thankfully unlined and sport bra and bralettes are all the rage right now, so I am hopeful you will be able to find the right type that works for you! Best, Sam S. (Atopic Dermatitis team).

          2. Thank you well at least the clothes I've gotten some that are 100% cotton after shopping yesterday and they feel a lot better
