Hi Ange. It is difficult to say if this is really an allergy or it may instead be another skin condition like seborrheic dermatitis which tends to present with flaky yellow crusts. You should see a dermatologist who can assess your condition and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Hi helpme

Yes, this could be a reaction to the material in the gloves but may also be seen with exposure to certain chemicals like those in detergents. Even though you are wearing gloves, it is not possible to avoid some contact with chemicals even for a short period. Another possibility, if you have sweaty palms, is that heat and excessive perspiration when you are hands are in the gloves may be causing these skin symptoms. Speak to a doctor about it. If it is just related to the gloves or detergents then using petroleum jelly on your hands before putting on the gloves and thoroughly washing your hands regularly may help. However, it could be a skin disease and your doctor will need to treat it accordingly.

Hi Louise

Given that you recently had a spray tan, this could very likely be contact dermatitis. This type of skin rash is associated with exposure to chemicals from skin care products, detergents and other chemical applications. Spray tans are usually safe, provided that you went to a reputable establishment, but individual sensitivity to these products may occur. It is more likely in a person with an allergic predisposition, especially those with atopic dermatitis (eczema). However, the spray tan on its own may not have been the culprit and other skin care applications could also be responsible especially if there was a chemical interaction with the spray tan. Of course there are other skin diseases that me also be existing but your doctor will first consider excluding teh spray tan as the cause if you did not have any pre-existing skin complaints prior to the tan. Speak to your doctor who can then assess your skin and prescribe the appropriate medication or topical applications to reduce your symptoms.

Hi ItchingLikeMad

A skin rash is a broad term and you need to see a dermatologist who can examine the are and diagnose the condition. It could be related to an allergy or infection (localized or systemic), or possibly even the skin care products you were using. Given the distribution, I would advise that you look into your hair care products. Take note of what aggravates the condition, foods, seasons, situations and this may help you identify a possible cause. Ideally a dermatologist should be consulted with for further advice.

loveacjmajor,

it could be a localized viral skin infection. I believe, I myself got this few times, but it was so mild and transitional I didn’t take much care about it. A dermatologist can give you the exact diagnosis and recommend some ointment.
