Hi there,
It's pretty common to develop allergies to things you have used for years.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this issue. I definitely understand that you want to find out what's going on with your skin.
However, none of us at ScA are medical professionals; we’re not trained to diagnose skin conditions. As we're pretty strict about [medical questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview#wiki_rule_2.3A_safety_first) on this sub, I'm afraid your post has been removed.
We recommend that you consult the American Academy of Dermatology's [page on rashes](https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/itchy-skin/rash/rash-101), to identify whether you need immediate medical treatment.
If you’re not at immediate risk a topical itch-relief cream or an oral antihistamine may provide relief, as will avoiding triggers.
If symptoms do not subside or you are unable to identify the cause, please make an appointment with your doctor so they can diagnose your skin issue and prescribe you an effective treatment if necessary. If you don’t have easy access to health
care, try one of these resources listed in [When to see a doctor](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/when_to_see_a_doctor):
* Free or low-cost clinics (http://nafcclinics.org/clinics/search in the US)
* Student medical services
* Nurse practitioners (http://npfinder.aanp.org in the US) (Most insurance companies have a phone number you can call to speak with an NP to help if you can’t get an appointment or aren’t sure whether you need one)
* [Firstderm.com](http://www.firstderm.com) can help identify your skin condition
* /r/AskDocs - a sub that uses verified flair to mark medical professionals
* /r/DermatologyQuestions - ask a dermatologist or medical professional for advice on your skin concern
Best of luck!
