She had it for some time and it kept getting worse. They tried all sorts of medications and creams. Someone suggested to her that she change her laundry soap and/or her fabric softener.

I just threw an entire 13 gallon garbage bag out with the contents of empty (old) cans and bottles. I think the alcohol would just lose its potency, not become harmful. You poor thing. Itchys are terrible.
