An unpleasant thing just happened. I put on some socks. I started having intense itching around my shins. It got worse, waves of intense itchiness that didn’t go away. I took off my socks. Put aloe on my itching skin, it just got itchier. It got worse and worse, I started to itch in other places, and it was also triggering a spike of anxiety? Or made it feel hard to breathe? I did what I should have done first, washed my lower legs off with soap. The itchiness was still there, but then it slowly went down. Now it’s mostly gone and I feel like I can breathe. I am so glad to stop itching. And afraid to trigger it again. I guess there’s something on my socks, like from laundry detergent. But no other clothes have caused it? (E. said it could also be from an itchy bug.)
This hasn’t happened to me before. It’s a little scary. I don’t want to touch the itchy socks again. Or maybe any socks, ever!
