I agree with AV. I have chronic bumps that I often get from what I think is probably laundry detergent residue on clothing. Whether it's contact dermatitis or eczema, it's annoying, and seems to persist even when the initial insult is gone.

Try this: use only fragrance & additive-free detergent, and run your laundry through an extra rinse. In the meantime, keep a thin layer of vaseline on the skin for a while and see if the eruption clears up. Keep us posted.
