Reacting to detergents & perfumes

I am just emailing to ask for advice as my skin seems to react to detergents and perfumes since turning 50.
What can I use to help this reaction - especially as it is important to use hand sanitisers now?
Many thanks

Re: Reacting to detergents & perfumes

Dear Pat,

Thank you for your question. You might have developed allergy - allergic contact dermatitis. Ask your dermatologist to do allergy patch test for you.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
