I think I just found what's given me itchy sore peeling patches round my eyes for months on end. I thought I was developing a cat allergy at one point, I changed my skincare, stopped using make up, but nothing seemed to help but steroid cream.
But I think its this methylisothiazolinone (MI). Apparently it is in loads of stuff - which probably explains why changing products didn't help - as a preservative and lately they started using more because another preservative got phased out. So now it is causing problems with allergies and sensitivity to the extent that some manufacturers are phasing it out.
It's in laundry products too, so that could explain the occasional itchy rashes being the knees. And it might be why some shampoos give me dandruff, although my current one has it and is OK... I rinse like crazy though, and maybe some have more in than others.
Anyhoo, thought I'd share in case it helps any of you out there too. I don't have a full on allergy (though I know someone who does, not fun) but the long term sensitivity has been a royal PITA. Hopefully I can avoid it now, yay!:dance:
