Why is my child so "itchy"

I'm trying to work out why the heel she's started complaining over the last couple of weeks of being "itchy"

We already use products that are anti allergy there's literally nothing to react to Hmm

She is mainly moaning about the tights...her sisters old pure cotton non reactive, washed in ecover tights that she's worn under her trousers ( classrooms cold so she needs to layer up) for ages now.

No new products, nothing. Hmm

Negative covid test recently too and it pre dates the test.

Oh dear I have six and I used 2.. there were no instructions.

Oh well

Everything has been washed and tumble dried and dd1 decided to tell me she'd been itchy too Hmm

This better work. Especially as ny eco egg hasn't arrived yet so I'm using washing powder that cost 15 quid for 1kg

eco egg is a pile of crap, u might as well wash with water, has been proved in lab tests

Oh dear that's not good. Dd2 gets a bit grubby...

Well an update of sorts. Having spent the entire weekend washing in the new detergent and tumble drying everything., dd1 is reportedly much less itchy now. Result. Dd2 is still itchy but only on her legs so still an improvement. The thermal leggings I bought dont seem to be any better than the tights. I'm going to assume it's either the material or as a pp suggested the hairs on her legs getting caught

As for me, I'm.too stressed to notice either way. You have no idea how much extra faffing and how much longer getting dressed , this moisturising malarkey is causing. Its 10 times worse than usual 😫😫
