I seemed to have developed an allergy to the latex gloves we are wearing on a pipeline job for protection from the epoxy. I've broken out with a horrid rash on my hands & arms, and have quit using the gloves, have been taking Benedryl as recommended by the Dr. As I am working 7-12 hour days, I don't have time to get into the Dr. It still seems to be spreading up my arms...........how long until I can expect the rash to go away, and quit spreading? I've gone 3 days now since it started and quit wearing the latex.
