Chloe couldn’t figure out the skin problems. There was skin breakdown, itching, redness…why?
Chloe has known she had an allergy to latex for awhile. This became clear when she was using a Lacross ball as a massage ball to try to roll out some of the adhesions from scars. Her back, where she was doing this, had severe skin breakdown before the mystery of why was solved and a latex allergy was diagnosed.
Similar symptoms appeared after wearing clothes with elastic. Chloe was inspired to ask the Internet, “Does elastic contain latex?”
The internet responded, “Yes, elastic often does contain latex.”
Chloe went through all her clothes, pulling out those which had elastic to give away, having a laugh/cry at the ridiculousness of the problem, and her sudden almost complete lack of pants.
What to do about this, to stay covered, to wear things that provide modesty and warmth without itchy, that she can afford?!?
Chloe decided to learn to create a kaftan. Behold her first creation:
