hello doctor I am writing to you in connection with my partners allergic reaction which happens when we are together basically she is already allergic to dust and has atop on her right hand since she was a child now she is 23 and I am 27 which is sometimes stronger sometimes weaker but always there as she is a japanese girl living in japan we have met three times in various places but her symptoms have appeared every time small red rashes appear on the hands and later on the legs too her face gets itchy and breaks out in pimples too these always start days after meeting again and get better some days after we leave each other we also tried sleeping apart and that helped a bit on the symptoms no sexual intercourse yet so I am afraid I might have something that makes her produce such reactions she also blames my dreadlocks which indeed catch not few dust but I will cut it before we meet soon so that possibility will be crossed out because of her dust allergy they live in a very clean environment so I also suspect that staying longer at an inherently duster place like my flat might get her reactions acting up also she had a lot of stress because of traveling to meet me which also does not help such skin diseases in some places we slept in hotels so we always suspected the local washing powders to cause these effects but in my work place I deliberately bought a new linen bed to avoid such a problem although I washed it before using it dishes were different in the three countries so I cannot see that there would be a common ground for an allergic reaction I will buy new clothes and will wash them myself according to her hygienic discipline and we will see how it goes I do not regularly use deodorant nor aftershave and I had different shower gels all the time what else could we change to stop her reactions or to find out what caused them how could we soothe them maybe after being together for a long time she would get used to my flora and she would eventually stop her reactions in an environment with less stress of course I sent her to a specialist as well to get checked to see whether I can be the cause
