Your career and eczema

Young adults with eczema should decide on a career that's less likely to expose them to irritant chemicals.

This means they should probably avoid nursing, hairdressing, catering, motor mechanics or the building industry.

Protective gloves with cotton linings will help prevent the irritant contact dermatitis that's so very common in eczema sufferers. They should also ideally avoid stressful occupations (e.g. police work, nursing, etc).

Some individuals are allergic to latex, so choose gloves carefully.
