My wife brought home from work some latex gloves and I used them while cleaning our tub and drainage and I developed eczema. At least I think it is. When I took the gloves off my hands were both quite red and dry and a bit flaky. I went to washed them with a soap but that only made the irritation worse. What should I do with this esczema?
Well, to be honest, there isn’t a cure for eczema but you can definitely use something to relieve these symptoms. It would be best for you if you stayed away from latex gloves as they seem to be the reason for your discomfort. The soap you used while washing hands, only made it worse. You can talk to a pharmacist to recommended you some of the over-the-counter meds or even better go to a dermatologist and get something prescribed.
