sensitive skin on hands

On behalf of a member:
I've been posting pictures of my hands previously on the forum of dermatitis , as I was having very bad reaction to something( still dont know exactly what is) .My hands are slightly better since i wear more gloves while in contact with detergents and water but i cannot find the right glove yet.
Most of them are too light and let the water goes inside which makes it very unpleasant or the gloves are too thick and my skin cannot breath and start to be itchy.
Could you please advise a brand that is good for very sensitive skin on the hands ?

Re: sensitive skin on hands

Below is advice taken from the US national eczema society

https://nationaleczema.org/protecting-y ... s-at-home/

For wet work, put on your cotton gloves and then cover them with unlined powder-free vinyl or neoprene gloves which are thin. (The latex in rubber gloves can cause allergies.) Afterward, wash eczema reusable gloves inside-out and let them air dry thoroughly. If a reusable vinyl glove gets a hole in it, throw it away. Wearing a glove with a hole in it is worse than wearing no glove at all. If water gets in your glove, take it off immediately; blot your hand dry, and use a new glove.
