In general, you may want to go with unscented products--anything that comes into contact with your skin (lotions, laundry detergents, etc.) I use vegan products (I avoid lanolin since it is derived from sheep). Lots of common mainstream lotions tend to contain metals and other ingredients that tend to be toxic (our bodies absorb some of what we put on our skin). Plus, they tend to be tested on animals, a practice I am adamently against.
The rash you mentioned . . . remember that your skin reflects your overall health. Sometimes a change in your skin's sensitivity may be a symptom of something going on internally. Several years ago, I used to get these weird bumps and itching between my fingers and it turn out to be related to my diet.
Be sure you are drinking plenty of water too; hydrating from the inside really does help.
