Hello all,
When I was small child, my grandmother came to visit me and my mother for a few months. During this time I kept getting rashes that covered my entire body and my mother had no idea how I was getting them. She took me to the doctor at least twice and they couldn’t figure out what was causing it. I used to fold the wash cloth I used to clean my body over the end of the bathtub after bathing. Im not sure how we came to the discover but later my grandmother said she was mistakingly using my towel to clean the bathtub and bathroom with chemicals, bleach, and other household cleaning products. After I told her that was my bathing towel she kind of just laughed it off and my mom did too but I never went back to the doctor to reassess the situation or further more tell them that I had been bathing with the same towel that was used to clean the bathroom with harmful chemicals for over a month. I stopped using the towel and I didn’t get any more rashes. While the rashes cleared up and I haven’t had any issues regarding rashes since, I am now paranoid, constantly worried, and seriously concerned that the long term and direct exposure of chemicals to my skin could have some adverse effects in my life involving my skin, nervous system, or just in general. And, could be the cause of some issues I currently have involving constant numbness and tingling in my extremities as my doctor and neurologist have yet to be able to diagnose it. Could there be a link to that incident any my current issues and should I be concerned about a medical issue developing in the future?
