Hand protection from dermatitis


Allergic contact dermatitis or eczema is a rash that usually appears as a result of being hypersensitive, or allergic, to one or more substances. These can be anything from foodstuffs, chemicals, detergents, plants and metals. Once you have discovered what you are sensitive to you need to try to avoid altogether, or at least limit the frequency and duration of contact with these offending substances. Hand dermatitis is a particular problem since it effects many day-to-day activities that are difficult to avoid. The following helpful guidelines provide information on how to protect your hands.

  • Regularly use specially formulated cleansers for washing sensitive skin, and use a hand cream to protect and lubricate after washing

 

  • Try to keep your hands at a regular room temperature - extreme cold and hot temperatures will irritate the rash. Also minimize the amount of times your hands are exposed to water

 

  • Try to wear thin cotton gloves at all times to protect you skin

 

  • Use heavy-duty vinyl gloves to avoid contact with irritants whilst working with offending substances, for example; detergents used in housework, or solvents and paint used for practical work. You can wear cotton gloves underneath these gloves for extra protection

 

  • Wear light disposable vinyl gloves for tasks like shampooing and preparing food

 

  • Wear cotton gloves over night after treating hands with cream or emollient

 

  • Continue protection after symptoms have eased since skin will still be sensitive and weak whilst recovering
