just thought I'd share with you lot...

Writing this whilst sitting in an NHS urgent care centre/out of hours GP, waiting XXhrs to be seen.

Despite wearing gloves at work this week, when feasible, I seem to have touched/come into contact with something delightful, at someone's home, that has caused my hands to react and develop lots of tiny, hot and itchy blisters in various areas!

Bloody fed up and irritable :mad:
 
QEII in Welwyn Garden City...
I might be waiting for a while longer! :eek:

4 hrs wait.
3 mins with GP.
Steroid cream, antihistamine.
Try and avoid further exposure by not working for 3-5 days.
Wear gloves at all times.
Come back in 2 weeks if no improvement.

FFS!
if I provided a service like that, I'd be living in a cardboard box within 3 months.
 
Polesapart is very likely right as to the problem. I'd be inclined to leave the gloves off for a few days (and possibly bin the ones that you've been using) Dillalio, or at least wear latex gloves underneath. I've had a bad reaction from some of the ones I got from Aldi. The green ones were a little tight, and my hands started to itch, but the reds were a larger size, and I've been fine with them. Get hold of some Echianaforce Echinacia as well, it'll boost your imune system. And daft as this sounds, if you stick a picture of yourself on your avatar, I'll try and do some absent healing on you.

Best of luck.
 
You may well laugh Andy, but as Shakspeare said, there are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I do a lot more than just building work.
 
Ach get your hands into it son & pull it out. Don't bite your finger nail for a week, you'll be fine!!

Choked drains in the 70s gave you a good heathy defence against bugs.
 
Hey! I'm open to anything that gets rid of this shyte!

I'll post a picture of myself for some absent healing...
