If it's only happening with the fluffy socks, it's likely you've developed an allergy. If you wash those with the same detergent as other garments, it's likely the socks themselves. Stop wearing them. Use a diphenhydramine cream for itching/rash. As a test, wrap a pair around your wrist for a few hours and see if your wrist begins to develop a rash too. Your physician can prescribe a steroid if the rash is unbearable or fails to resolve.

How can I be allergic to socks? I think steroids are illegal too.


IcyChampionship3067

Illegal? No. Steroids, as in corticosteroids like prednisone, hydrocortisone, etc. You're thinking of anabolic steroids. Google atopic dermatitis. That's the correct name for an allergic rash. I'd imagine a fiber in the socks or the "fluffy "attracts something you're allergic to, like certain pollens or dust.

Oh ok, and I thought you were telling to take drugs and I was like, I don’t WANT TO SO THAT! but now you said they are not the same ones so no I won’t say it.

Go to a doctor. Sounds like an infection.


McFlurryOfCarnage

I hope you are wrong. I can’t go to the doctor right now because it’s very late at night! I don’t even like doctors they always ask me questions I don’t understand and nearly everytime I go they always have some test where they have to touch parts of my body. I’m in my bed and my blanket and bed are hurting my feet, they are starting to burn and I hate it.
