Clothing for Eczema?
Due to the painful & irrepressible itchy rash that accompanies Severe Eczema, EB, Psoriasis & Allergy sufferers need to wear super soft clothing that can withstand high temperature HOT Washing (To remove all the heavy emollients & steroid creams often needed).
Sounds Simple Doesn't it?
Unfortunately its not just a matter of popping down to your local shopping centre & finding some nice soft clothes. A whole range of things (such as seams & necklines) need to be re engineered so as not to cause irritation that can lead to scratching, bleeding & infection.
Currently No Eczema Clothing is Made in Australia!
Can you believe this? 1 in 3 Australians are living with Eczema & there is no clothing made here. All the eczema clothing currently sold is sourced out of Europe & the UK, Which is often made of heavy fabrics not suitable for the Hot Australian Climate. It is also virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find this specialist clothing for adults.
Bamboo? Allerchic customers have been asking for Bamboo & Specialists (such as dermatologists & immunologists) recommend this type of clothing for relief.
- Bamboo is Environmentally Sustainable & Grown in Australia,
- Bamboo is Temperature Regulating (this is a huge problem for people with Eczema & Allergies as overheating can cause the rash to flare, Bamboo has the amazing natural feature of being able to stabilise temperature, Its cool in summer & comfortable in winter).
- Bamboo naturally has anti-fungal & anti-bacterial qualities (Important as Infection can be a huge problem with eczema, EB & Psoriasis)
- Bamboo can withstand Hot Washing needed to remove eczema creams & heavy emollients.
- Bamboo is grown here in Australia & Bamboo fabric is also available in Australia
