If you get hives or a severe rash, you should consult your doctor and ask for medication.  They will usually give you an anti-itch cream and maybe even a pill to get rid of any infections caused by your scratching habit.  You will need to talk to your doctor about maybe what brand of soap to purchase so that you don’t break out again.  You may want to buy on of the more expensive brands, specifically made for those with sensitive skin.

These types of laundry soaps and softeners have no scent to them and have less harsh chemicals.  This is good for newborns, because they have extremely sensitive skin.  Most newborns are allergic to soaps and softeners because their skin is new to the world and the harsh chemicals that we grow to be use to.
