How Can Itchy Rashes On The Skin Be Treated?

I just started working at a wastewater treatment plant. I am outside in Miami most of the day. I have been experiencing breakouts in hives and eczema and burning and itching skin. Sweat makes everything worse, extremely painful and unbearable. Headaches and nausea are new additions. When I start to cool down in front of a fan or the air conditioner I feel a little better. I am only a trainee and don t want to lose my job but I m getting worse, please any advice will be greatly appreciated

Hi,

It looks like eczema. You should avoid chemicals that trigger it,or sweating or dust. Wash the body parts properly, dry them well and keep it moisturized with lotions and ointment. Petroleum jelly works well. Also can use corticosteroids creams.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
