Itchy Skin
This is one of the first symptoms that people with an elastane allergy experience. The skin may feel itchy where it has come into contact with the allergen, even if no other symptoms are visible.
Red Rash
Typically, a red rash appears on the skin that has been in contact with elastane. This rash may look like small red bumps or hives and can sometimes be mistaken for eczema or a different type of skin condition.
Skin Swelling
In some cases, the area of skin that has come into contact with the allergen may swell. This usually happens if the allergic reaction is severe.
Blistering
In severe cases of elastane allergy, blistering may occur on the skin. The blisters are typically filled with fluid and can be quite painful.
Difficulty Breathing
In very severe cases, elastane allergy can cause difficulty breathing. This is a serious symptom that requires immediate medical attention and usually occurs when an allergic person inhales elastane fibers.
Systemic Reactions
In rare cases, a person could experience systemic reactions to an elastane allergy. These reactions might include fever, muscle aches, and in the most severe cases, anaphylaxis, a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
