Hii! Is it normal if my binder makes my skin itch so bad that it peels… I feel like probably not but what could be the cause?

#

I’ve been itching so bad to the point where it stings 😢

I am not trans (probably).
But I don't think it's supposed to do that..

a binder shouldnt be making you itch period end of story, but especially not making the skin peel. did you buy this binder second-hand/used? and if not, did you wash it thoroughly/according to the instructions before wearing it?

also see if like an antihistamine cream like topical benadryl works bc it could also potentially be an allergy to smth

ok lemme thinks a bit

ok reddit recommends cornstarch or gold bond on the binder to help with friction + potentially sweat absorption it looks like. some people also recommended wearing a thin cotton shirt under it if you want to try that?
