I have contact dermatitis, also known as home makers hands (what my dermatologist called it)
I can list dozens of things i cannot touch because if i do, the next day i break out in itchy water blisters on my hands. This causes a lot of pain, and cracked skin. I have a medication i apply to my hands when i get a break out.
I do a lot of crocheting, so this is a big issue at times. Right now i'm all clear.
I have to wear non latex gloves when doing the dishes, pealing potatoes or cleaning with any chemicals. I also have to use a certain soap and moisturize my hands a lot as when they're healed, they're also very dry. It's not contagious.
Do you have any allergies?

I have allergic rhinitis triggered by dusts or any allergens in the air.

I get sinus infections at times, but not sure what triggers it. Defiantly some kind of pollen though

@Debscrochet I have that too but it's usually the terrible weather that triggers it. Sinusitis runs in the family. It's genetic..

I do. I get allergies everytime I wear jewelries. They cannot stay in my body for long as it reacts in my body. I will get those red, itchy spots.

I have an allergy for everything that blooms (flowers, trees). I take pills from the early days of spring till the last days of autumn. There's also something in many perfume that makes me choke.

When I was a child I had an allergic reaction to children's aspirin. Of course I havent taken it in years so I do not know if the allergy still exists. I don't take adult aspirin because of that.
I also have an allergy to scents. Perfumes, aerosols, room and carpet deodorisers, deodorants, and anything with a strong scent chokes me up.

I hope you outgrew it, but don't blame you for not risking it

I think that I'm allergic to the country lol... I have never been so congested since moving here... or maybe it's the prairies. Have never been able to pin it down to even a season... I'm always congested!
