Contact eczema

  • The best protection to avoid a contact eczema is an efficient skin barrier. If you frequently have contact e.g. with water, soap, cleaning agents or solvents, you then help your skin to recover in between times. Make frequent use of skincare ointments or creams.
  • When applying cream to your hand, do not forget the spaces between your fingers.
  • If you wear protective gloves when working, please remember that your hands will sweat in the gloves. Therefore change the gloves frequently and let the pair that you have just worn dry thoroughly before you put them back on again.
