@kennypowers69 Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are not medical doctors, however we do share our own experiences and struggles with the hope of helping others on their own journeys.

Unless you can live in a clothing-optional situation, this issue with fabric must be frustrating! I know that for me, wearing natural fibers as much as possible, really helps, except I don't like wool. There are some nice brushed cotton clothes. I usually buy things a size [at least!] larger than needed so I don't feel restricted, and will not wear anything crew neck, because it makes me feel like I am being choked. I found that washing my clothes in liquid detergent designed with no harsh chemicals, no dyes, no perfumes, helps. Drying clothes outside in the fresh air is nice if you can do it.

Have you thought about maybe your skin is real sensitive, rather than the material? Have you tried body washes designed for sensitive skin? In my experience, what works for me is liquid castle soap, and I have used it for decades! It cleans, doesn't leave a residue. Sometimes I use an unscented lotion.

I hope to hear from you again, and that you will let me know what you decide to do.
