Hi All,
I have a client who works in the medical field so therefore wears latex gloves on a regular basis.
She has been having problems with irritated,red,raised patches on the backs of her hands and wrists due to prolonged use of protective gloves.
I have advised her to switch to nitrile or vinyl gloves and use a barrier cream and wash her hands regularly, as she cant use barrier cream as could degrade the latex.
I was wondering if anyone has experience of this problem and what else can be done about it?
Thanks
Clare
