Hi yes you are, ideally you could get an action plan in place or follow exisitng policy & procedure to care for the skin of allergy or skin condition sufferers - latex protein and powder are both a risk for eczema & independant allergic reation: from
Allergy UK &
from HSE &
a case experience.
Eczema from Family doctor.org &
hand ezcema form National eczema.org
Fragrance & colour free resources
Use of recommended products only - no soaps or detergents unless known.
Application of aqueous, emollient & other prescribed creams.
Gentle hand washing with tepid water, slow towel patting/blotting to dry the skin with much awareness on no rubbing.
Ongoing policy to remove any need to time a child's participation at activities due to broken skin/rashes.
Check with parents and professionals which products may or maynot be suitable for use.
Use hand protection when needed for eg: sand, soil, sawdust, straw, hay, water, wind, food preparation & cookery, paint, glue, handling flock/short fibered fabrics.
Latex free gloves, vinyl, pvc, polythene,
cotton gloves will help protect the skin & absorb sweat under waterproof gloves. Neoprene, lycra, dermaprene materials over cotton gloves may be suitable -
diving gloves children there may be additional allergy implications for these so again checking and asking is always a good idea
What is latex for a known allergy is an excellent read.
