Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis, including both irritant and allergic responses, is the most common clinical reaction associated with latex and its additives.
Irritant contact dermatitis
Irritant contact dermatitis is a non-allergic skin rash characterised by hand erythema, dryness, cracking, scaling and vesicle formation. These changes may be due to sweating or rubbing under the glove and from residual soaps and detergents in prolonged contact with the gloved cutaneous surface.
