For work reasons, do you need to wear work gloves for a long time?
Does your hand feel uncomfortable because of wearing gloves for a long time?
Or worse, have you found that your hands have been irritated and have started to develop dermatitis and eczema?
If you also have the above troubles, it may be a good idea to continue reading this article.
Let's find the reason first, because you need to know that if you feel uncomfortable in your hands after using gloves, most of the time, gloves are not the cause!
1. The most common cause of contact hand dermatitis is irritation from another substance before wearing gloves. For example, the hand sanitizer is not cleaned, or the stratum corneum becomes thin due to the frequency of use. This frequent hand washing combined with the long-term wearing of gloves will cause great irritation to the hand skin. We recommend using a milder soap and moisturizing your hands.
2. Cross-contamination may also be the cause. Please be careful with what you touch when you work. If you will take off your gloves at work, please do not touch devices that are only touched when wearing gloves. After taking off the gloves, do not touch the outside of the gloves.
3. Be sure to check whether the gloves you are using are out of date or damaged.
4. There is another possibility that you are allergic to latex in gloves. Many people do not know that they are allergic to latex before they wear latex gloves. If you are allergic to latex, you can choose nitrile-coated gloves.
Finally, if you are still worried or are still experiencing contact dermatitis, it is best to seek professional help from a dermatologist. Through professional inspection and testing, you can know what is irritating your skin and how to solve it.
