Hi HoosierLife,
[quote]Well here’s the new plot twist. I sleep mainly on my right side and today my right elbow is all red and itchy and it has little bumps like a rash all over it. I’m having a red irritation on my right hip and groin area as well. All places that are firmly in contact with the mattress in.
I think I might suffer from a mild latex allergy LOL. [/quote]
While a latex allergy is certainly possible … it would be normally be to the dipped latex that is used in gloves, balloons, and condoms etc and it would be very unusual with foamed latex because it is washed and it would usually require direct physical contact with the latex itself without a cover over the latex. There is more about latex allergies and sensitivities in post #2 here.
If you do suspect an allergy though there are some tests that you can have done with your doctor to confirm whether you have an allergy or sensitivity to latex or the curing package that is used to manufacture the latex.
Either way though … I would want to know the cause of your symptoms and would definitely see your health care provider.
