People with Scrubs Allergy often experience an intense, persistent itch. The itch might be prevalent all over the body or localized to the areas where Scrubs have come into direct contact with the skin.
The skin may turn red and become inflamed, often accompanied by a burning sensation. This irritation is generally more intense on sensitive areas of the skin or anywhere the Scrubs have been applied.
Upon contact with Scrubs, some individuals may develop a rash or small bumps. These reactions are typically localized and can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual's sensitivity.
In individuals with Scrubs Allergy, the skin may become unusually dry or start flaking. This condition results from the irritation caused by the Scrub leading to peeling of the skin layers.
Swelling of the skin or in severe cases, swelling of the facial features - such as the lips or eyes, are common symptoms of Scrubs Allergy. The swelling can be painful or tender to touch.
Respiratory problems can occur in more severe cases, most likely due to inhaling the allergens. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.

As much as possible, choose scrubs made from hypoallergenic materials. These fabrics are less likely to trigger allergic reactions as they are resistant to dust mites and molds, making them safer for sensitive individuals.
Some scrubs are made using harsh dyes or chemical treatments for durability and wrinkle resistance, which could potentially cause allergies. To avoid this, look for scrubs that are colored using plant-based dyes or ones that are untreated.
If you have extremely sensitive skin or known fabric allergies, it can be helpful to wear a lightweight base layer between your skin and the scrubs. This physical barrier can help to prevent irritation and allergic reactions.
The way you launder your scrubs can also affect potential allergies. Use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent when washing your scrubs. Make sure to wash new scrubs before wearing them for the first time to remove any residual chemicals from manufacturing.
