Skin Reaction To Boxing Gloves, Blotchy Rashes. Remedy?
Hi, I'm into boxing, and a couple of weeks back I had a bit of a skin reaction to a pair of gloves I used. It left blotchy rashes in small clusters on both of my hands. I expected it to go away in a couple of days like a sweat rash, but about two weeks or so later it's still there. Right now it's very dry and flaky, but if I'm in any sort of warm condition or if I try and wash it the rash turns red again. It's not itchy other than towards the eveningtime. How can I get rid of it? It's so unsightly.
From the information that you have given it looks like you are having "Contact Dermatitis"I would suggest you stop using those gloves.Please use cold water to wash your hands as it decreases constant irritation of the skin over your hands.You will also need antihistaminic tablet to decrease itching and also steroid cream for local application.Please consult your family physician or dermatologist for prescription of the medications.
