Allergic to Underwear?

by Maya

Luke is newly potty trained and since he’s been in underwear, he has broken out in hives fairly significantly 3 times now around the waistband of his underwear & also up onto his abdomen and down onto his legs.

Very often he is red on the skin his underwear touches…and now we are looking into a possible allergy to what – lycra? latex? I also read that with severe dust allergies, dust can easily get trapped in the elastic.

I’m not even sure what is in his waistband but it only seems to be a problem with his “Elmo” underwear from Target. The cheaper no-name brand from Walmart doesn’t seem to be as big a problem. Sometimes he’ll get a bit red, but nothing more.
So, now I’m on a mission to find out:
1. what is in the waistband of his underwear
2. where I can buy underwear that is allergy-free
