I have lived with being allergic to neoprene for 15 years. At first, I could find items other then knee support braces which I had to have special made. Now I find in America appox. 95% of our products contain neoprene. Shoes, purses,clothes, everything. It affects our breathing. Oder hidden.  add a comment

I would like to inform all that I "MAYBE" found knee braces made in USA, without neoprene, a company in Grapevine, Tex. Also Iet me inform you they are making a "lighter" product called NOBUCK, do not be fooled, it is not as hot as neoprene but still same.  add a comment

Used knee support with neoprene and within less than 24 hours developed hot sweaty redness around the knee area. The blisters all over the knee area and every other area that the support came in contact with. After I stopped used the knee support with som antibiotics system all cleared.  add a comment

I'm reading while screaming inside from unbearable itching. I see no real relief will come except with time. Next time, Ace bandage. Or no more falling down on my knee.  add a comment

Seems I've always been allergic to neoprene with uncontrollable itching. Last time was with knee brace. Ended up with bloody rash in immediate vicinity, and hive type rash covering rest of body stopping just short of face. Never again!

You stated never again. What are you going to do when you find that neoprene in now being put in just about all America's products. Items I never dreamed, our clothes, TV Remotes, cameras, shoes, ect. I can touch neoprene and my hands burn.
We few need to band togather.  add a comment

A neoprene allergic reaction is marked by a form of contact dermatitis. It usually appears in the form of a rash where contact with neoprene occurred.

Reply by creamcake1us (9):
There is more than a red rash. You may not have as severe allergy . It burns like balls of fire, can eat holes in your skin, affect your breathing, cause red blisters and more. The air Americans are breathing due to the neoeprene chemicals could
be harmful to lungs.  add a comment

Neoprene allergy began with Knee Braces with itching red rash. My Chinese Doctor knew, since most neoprene products come from China. I next had deep holes eaten into top of feet due to shoes. It burns like fire. Neoprene has taken American and my life over. What To Do? help!

I am allergic to neoprene. The reaction I have is a red, itchy rash wherever neoprene has come into contact with my skin. The rash looks like poison ivy.

I am not Fair skinned so that is not correct. Please go to search; Neoprene-Allergies & you will find a lot of info. There is not much left in US that is not made from Neoprene. I had a 2" hole eaten out of top of foot. Tongue of shoes.  add a comment

I have just read an article that America is planning on making most all products from the cheaper made Neoprene also Nobuck (this is the lighter version) Ha, if that makes a difference. The polyroathene (sp) oil based material been using cost to much. Burns to the touch, drop it.
