Wash new clothes: Here's why you should do it before wearing them

SocialPostSusan Nedorost, professor of dermatology, explained why it’s important to wash your clothes—even if they’re new—before you put them on. ”Allergic contact dermatitis is an immune response to allergens that come into contact with the skin.
