Hands break out.

Hello, I have been in healthcare since 2006 ( 9 yrs as a CNA, and a few months now as an RN). I work full-time and the constant hand-washing and hand-sanitizer breaks my hands out and I get these little red VERY itchy bumps all over my fingers. My hands aren't "dry" per say and regular lotions don't help. The ONLY thing that does help is when I go to the dermatologist and the doctor prescribes me this cream to put on that works wonders and works really fast! Unfortunately, being on prescription creams are going to be a lifelong thing for me. I was wondering if anyone else has similar issues?

    My boyfriend did, it was a reaction to the brand of soap and hand sanitizer. He went through employee health and was able to use a different brand. Perhaps you should talk to your employee health?

    I agree with the previous poster that it could be the brand of soup/sanitizer used. If so human resources needs to provide you with an alternative if you have a documented allergy. Also, does your facility still use latex gloves? I personally have become sensitive to latex after years in healthcare and my hands broke out constantly from the gloves until I figured out what the problem was. Switching to latex-free gloves solved the problem for me :)

    I saw the doc this morning and she said contact dermatitis, as well. I have a script for steroid ointment and barrier cream.
