Allergy on hands due to gloves

2021-02-15 06:42:29
Hello. Ever since covid 19 has started, i have been washing hands excessively which caused dryness of skin and since i wasn't able to use sanitizer on my hands , i used to wear nitrile gloves. But i think I'm allergic to gloves . My skin has become very dry and there's a patch like appearance on both the back of my palms. What to do ? Any alternatives for gloves? I have attached the images.
