Materials used in clothing and clothing styles may worsen skin irritations. If the doctor diagnoses you with pruritus, you should stop wearing tight-fitting clothes that pressurize the skin. Look for cotton or silk clothing instead of clothes made of wool or synthetic fabrics. It is also a good idea to experiment with different laundry detergents. Some recommend going to sleep wearing cotton gloves to protect against scratching skin irritations while sleeping.
