As a sufferer of this problem,can anyone recommend a barrier cream ,hand cream and some decent work gloves.

Is use o Keefes hand(green tub) and foot(blue tub) barrier cream works very well

When you have it - Synalar gets rid of it, see your doctor it's prescription only I think. (It's cortisone based)

Then try and prevent it because it does come back.

betnovate, a steroid, prescription only.

As a sufferer,as a teenager,the only long term answer is to remove the aggravating cause. In my case,one problem revealed another...

I was working on the farm,shoveling potatoes into a riddler,which involved ----ing the rotten ones to one side. Contact with the ooze from these,caused quite bad dermatitis.

The method used to overcome this,was to wear latex gloves,and the problem got better - then worse...resulting in finding the second of my strange allergic reactions,to latex (Silver,being the other!)

So,with good skin care,and Nitrile gloves,i have been lucky enough to avoid problems since.

A friend of mine,another engineer,had to come off the tools,and go into sales,due to a prolonged ignorance,of what was eventually diagnosed as dermatitis.

I use this lotion. It also acts as a barrier cream for making it easy to wash your hands at the end of the shift.
