After weeks of a rash, I finally figured out that my foster son is allergic to some laundry detergent. We did a detective project to try and figure out what was giving him a rash. We ruled out food. We ruled out the soap. We ruled out Mr. Bubbles. We ruled out shampoo. The only thing left was the soap his last location used. I switched to a laundry detergent that has no fragrance/dye/etc. and washed all his clothes, towels, sheets and the rash started to go away. I also put some anti itch cream on the rash.
In a few days the rash was gone. It is amazing what cheap soap can do to your skin. (yes, it was cheap industrial soap.) With the Method no dye/no fragrance detergent, he got better almost immediately.
Until tomorrow...
