I have been swimming for 24 years and suddenly I have become allergic to most goggles that I try!
For many years I used the hind compy-style goggles with the foam eye protection. Then suddently I started getting red rings around my eyes that would itch and turn flaky. Very embarrassing! A friend told me to try these speedo hypoallergenic goggles. So I did and my red ring problem went away! For a while, anyway. Now it's about 2 years later and I suddenly started getting the allergy to these, "hypoallergenic" goggles. Does anyone have any ideas? Apparently I must have developed a sudden sensitivity to whatever is in that foam and now to rubber.
Thanks for any help!

The dermatologist actually took a pair of her swimming goggles, ground them up, and used that for one of the skin tests.
If only all doctors were that dedicated to solving their patients' problems!!!
