Ive started working as a dishy which ive dine a few years back, which caused rashes but never anything like this. I've read that wearing cotton gloves under my usual rubber gloves at work washing dishes can help. I'll have a photo to what my hands look like after work. It hurts and burns rather than itches. Is it something I deal with? Any advice would be very appreciated. Thankyou in advance.
You are probably allergic to an ingredient in the dishwashing soap. Purchase Sprouts free & clear dish soap. Take it to work with you and don't use anything else. Always wear cotton gloves under your dishwashing gloves. I prefer AMMEX vinyl gloves sold on Amazon at a very good price. Disposable. I buy my cotton gloves through CVS. They run small and shrink, so buy large.
