Question : How can i tell if i am allergic to my down blanket?
I have had a down blanket for almost a year. I developed this rash on my face two weeks ago. Started as little skin colored bumps in one area then started to spread. Now the first set of bumps is starting to itch. (its not acne) then I noticed last night that is where I put my blanket. Also I have taken benadryl a bunch and used hydracortizone cream just in case it was a normal allergy thing and they haven’t done anything. Could it be that?

Have you washed the blanket recently? If so, it could be the laundry soap, softener, or anti-static product that caused the reaction.
Of course, it could be from many other things. Take the blanket off your bed and out of the room for a week and see if there is any difference. That would be a great way to tell.
