It was a long travail to identify all the allergens and replace those products with ones she could safely use. She has contact dermatitis with a LOT of products.

Have yourself checked for allergies if the symptoms continue.

I experienced this a couple years ago. My skin was getting so dry on my hands that I would just have random cut-like cracks appear around my knuckles out of nowhere. It took about a week of using a medicated lotion before it resolved, but I never asked a doctor about or considered that it could be from skin allergies. That's interesting.

Neither of my two succubus have ever "marked me" with a scratch. I am pretty certain they would see this as doing harm, and that is against my House Rules.
