Determining the cause of an itchy skin rash
The other common product that can cause a reaction is rubber (latex) so if you have been wearing rubber gloves they could be the cause of the problem.
I wear gloves when preparing sandwiches and rolls, so perhaps they are the cause. How can I know for sure?
The only way to accurately determine the cause of the reaction is to have a patch test carried out. This involves various substances being applied to the skin in order to find which one(s) you react to.
You should see your doctor who will recommend an anti-inflammatory cream containing hydrocortisone to help the rash.
Barrier creams and moisturisers such as E45 are also useful in preventing a recurrence of the problem.
Your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist for patch testing of the problem.
