YES, I am allergic to LANOLIN. I had a shower using some cream shower gel (containing Lanolin) and the next day I was scratching alot and felt like I had dry skin. So I took a bath with E45 Embollient Bath Oil (which contains Lanolin.

When I got out of the bath, my body was covered in Red Rashes, which then over the next few hours became raised and very itchy and sore.

I must add that because I felt itchy before the bath, I put in way over the Dosage stated of 15 ML. I probably put in 150 ML of E45 Bath Oil, thinking "More the Better" as I just didn`t think it would harm me.

I suffered with the Rashes and Burnt skin (the skin feels hot and it is like living with very bad sun burn) for a couple of weeks, with no change, so I went to see a nurse at the doctors, who immediately said "You are allergic to Lanolin"

The BEST Cure for the rashes and skin in my case was Antihistamine Tablets. I now have to avoid Wool alcohols and in particular Lanolin. I am a 50 year old male. I have never suffered from anything in the past.

Lanolin is collected by washing the wool fleece of sheep to remove dirt and oils.
