This is interesting. I was diagnosed with eczema (I can't remember the name of it, but it gets watery blisters on my hand and then they itch and pop open) a few years back. I remember not long after I was diagnosed someone on here mentioning they had an allergy to this chemical. We used those Huggies wipes exclusively at the time and I wondered if it was related. In the past few months I've been using Pamper wipes because they were on sale and my hand has cleared up. I just opened a new pack a Huggies wipes and sure enough I'm starting to get the blisters again. It almost has to be the cause because it's only on the hand I use to wipe DS when I'm changing his diaper. The weird thing is we do use Softsoap in one bathroom and I've not had issues with my other hand. I need to do an experiment I think!!
