Am I the only person in the world allergic to socks?
 

As soon as I put them on my ankle starts itching and then it spreads all up my leg, Ive tried loads since it started happening about a month and it seems to be any sock.

Its a pain, its ok going sockless sometimes, but often you have to wear them.

Another one to add to my list of bizarre ailments :upsidedow

You know it's funny cos I have the same problem. Yesterday I had 3 spots on my left leg, today one on each leg and now this evening I have about 5 with one on my foot.
First of all I thought it was my jeans or I had been bitten by something but maybe it is my socks...
Going for a shower to try and disinfect my leg..

thats odd , you should see a doctor

maybe change the kind of socks you wear?

yeah try different kinds, there are non allergic ones for sporters

those are sock crabs, a new std

k not sure if they sell them in the US but google for Falke its german theyre quite big on sportsocks prof mountain climbing etc non allergic as well

Which material are the sock made with ? Try the organic cotton, they seems to do well with me. Make sure the sock isn't too tight too.

Ive tried all sorts of materials - but I think it could be because they are too tight.

I have feet that are just at the top end of the range for socks - I might shop around for some oversize ones.

I always push my socks down, I can't stand to have them up. But I live in SoCal and wear flip flops and shorts pretty much everyday, so it's not an everyday concern for me.

Try washing them dude. lol

it might be from your laundry soap. try one without perfumes.

try 100% cotton

What is this 'washing' thing you talk of?

You do know Im a webmaster - Im going to have to Google it :)

Seriously Ive tried washing in different powders, even buying brand new ones and not washing them.

Fuck socks, I haven't worn them in like 12 years. I feel like it's summer all the time, even in winter!

It might not be your socks but the detergent you use to wash your socks in or if you bleach your socks.

It's probably the texture of the sock or what it's made out of.

I'm not allergic to them, but I can't stand wearing them. I go barefoot in sandals almost every day.

socks sucks

Just wear tights...

Sometimes it happens to me, but not often.

consult a doctor. your skin might be very sensitive
