nothernlite 18,247 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Just a quick question, i think i might have picked up contact dermatitis from work but im not sure, any lads on here have it and if so whats the story with it? can you get cream for it? hands are starting to do my head in now, ive read up a bit about it and its common for metal workers to suffer from it apparently. i know i should've used barrier cream but its a bit late nowWhat you got mate? A rash on a few fingers or just parts of your hands? I have had this for months now. Was really sore but now horrible dry flakey skin which cracks easy and makes it sore again.The chemist give me a steroid cream but I can't remember the name and told me to use moisturiser use to waken me up at night hands were on fire mate had it for a couple years before I read a article in the daily mail about a guy down south wife was suffering from and he made a cream took him years anyway wrote to the guy and he sent me some skin sure plus great stuff mate the demand was to much for him so he patented it to wall mart then they took of there shelves for some reason but can buy it online it's a sore thing my hands were constant bleeding with it constant scratching at them Edited October 4, 2014 by nothernlite Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought myself a Ford capri about January time. Started doing work on it over the summer. Until then I never really had much to do with cars etc. It was an automatic so my hands got covered in transmission oil, radiator coolant and engine oil. Then I'd clean my hands with swarfega. Could be linked then? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,897 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Becnovate will clear it up but becareful this stuff weakens the skin I've had terrible eczema in the past, my parents tried allsorts when I was a kid not sure what they used but it worked as i've not had problems for years. Once caught fecking scabies off one of the old dears in the nursing home I worked at when a student. I thought she was being nice touching my face lol skanky tramp ended up covering my neck in it. Bloody scabs peeling off all wet and like velcro fuuckin minging lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 When I was fishing, my hands used to crack all the time from the salt water drying the skin out, quite a few of the lads had it. One of them tried Neutragena Norwegian formula hand cream and within a week or so his hand were back to normal. We all started using it and it was a god sent, stopped the hands from cracking.
