Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It is definitely an allergic reaction, may be due to chemicals, or the rubber of the gloves, or the color of the gloves.
Try to change the color of the gloves, if no response,change the material of the gloves, use polythene, rexin, etc. Try to avoid the fumes of the chemicals also.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms Injection of triamcinolone, every fort night.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,sprouts, and
protein rich foods to develop the resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
