Toxic Fabric Dyes and Skin Allergies in Rainy Season | Dangerous colors of clothes and skin allergies in rain

Best clots for Rainy Season: During the fashion era, people wear colorful clothes a lot. Wearing any kind of clothes in winter does not cause trouble, but in summer and rain, clothes should be worn thoughtfully. Especially wearing wrong clothes in the rain can cause problems. According to health experts, wearing more colorful clothes should be avoided in the monsoon. Many clothes that look attractive and shiny are not safe for the skin. Especially clothes which use synthetic dye, they can cause problems for health. The dye of these clothes reacts to the skin during the sun, humidity and sweat season, which can cause problems like itching, rashes and allergies. Experts believe that the color of clothes and its quality skin has a profound effect on health.

Dr. Pragati Gogia Jain, Senior Dermatologist of Apollo Hospital, Lucknow, UP, told That bright and stylish -looking clothes often become the cause of skin rashes and allergies. This problem in medical language is called textile dye dermatitis. Nowadays clothes that are found in the market, often contain harmful chemicals like edo dye, dispersion dye, formaldihyde, heavy metals and solvents. These chemicals weaken the natural protection of the skin, which can lead to rashes, irritation and sometimes chemical burn.

According to experts, when the body is soaked with sweat in summer and rainy season, then this synthetic dye proves more dangerous. Due to sweat, the skin becomes more soft and the color of the fabric enters it rapidly. This can cause problems like dye allergies and skin irritation. For those whose skin is already sensitive, this danger increases manifold. Plant-based dye i.e. colors extracted from plants, flowers and fruits are much more secure than synthetic colors. They do not contain harmful chemicals and are skin friendly. Natural colors can prove to be a better option for those who already have allergies to the color of clothes or those who have atopic dermatitis. Although some people may be allergic to the plant based indigo, they should take a patch test before wearing it.

According to the doctor, the safest fabrics in the rainy season are those made of quick drying, light and breathable fabrics. Synthetic clothes like nylon, polyester and reyon are considered better for rain, as these water does not absorb and dry quickly, which reduces the risk of fungal infection or cold. At the same time, natural fabrics like cotton or linen become heavy when they get soaked in rain and dry up late, which increases the chances of rashes or fungal infections on the skin. Apart from this, skin fit clothes should be avoided as they stick to the skin when they get wet and can cause discomfort in walking. Wearing light, loose and quick drying clothes in the monsoon is the safest and practical option.
