Dermititus? Seem to remember something called something like that being talked about in college. Guess it's contact with all the paste, flux and rubbish.

Anyone had same problem? What did you do? Glove up or see GP for creams?

HATE wearing gloves to work for all but the brutal stuff.
 
I wear sperian gloves. They are brilliant and once you get used to them you will do everything with them on I can even do wiring.

I tried all sorts of different creams but gloves were the only thing that sorted it.
 
If your hands are itchy and skin is cracking, then try some hydrocortisone cream
 
I had itchy hands\arms a while ago turned out to be the soap I was washing my hands and arms with in work,
 
Years of using fingers on powerflow flux , il be ok as a robber as probably dont have any finger prints left, lol
 
I am with millsy on the gloves, i never thought i could get used to them , but you do , just give it a try
 
I wear gloves all the time, now I'm used to them it feels strange the odd time I'm not wearing gloves!
 
Gloves when doing a lot of pipework and I use Dermashield barrier cream.
 
Slightly off topic but what type of gloves are you all wearing, pvc dotor style, b&q £1 special or £20 and up Stanley framing style
 
Nitrile gloves under second skin gloves when stripping out and then just nitrile when fitting. Go through a box every two weeks but only £12. Black mamba no better!

Sick of dirty hands. My fella won't let me near him. Will u kris! Deb barrier cream before I start and Deb restore when your at home. Hands like Tamz cheeks!
 
Black mamba's.....keeps my hands as clean as Croppies wallet...
