I got diagnosed with a fragrance allergy recently. I break out in hives on my face. My doctor gave me back my allergy results and told me I had to cut all scented things out, from cleaners, to soaps, to shampoos, detergents, whole nine yards. I was crushed at first, because I liked my scented soaps and dryer sheets.
But you know how people that go blind kinda get hearing superpowers? My nose has been getting that now, because there’s less scent “noise” in the picture. Scents are sharpened now. I feel almost superhuman now, haha. Anyone here ever had something similar with a different sense, or something similar with fragrances? I’m amazed at just how many things we put fragrance in now!
I’ve not used soap/bodywash in years because I found it caused itchyness. Just wash with water and a good scrub with one of those scrunchy type sponge things. No problems with smelling bad. I do however still use deodorant as I get RIPE fast.
Shampoo I have to use (Nizoral) due to some sort of skin condition in my scalp, beard and eyebrows.
