Answer 2

Hi First, we need to make sure you dont have a parasitic infection so just to be sure go to the chemist and get some Malathion lotion (often called Derbac M) and use that for a few days, OK. Then, we need to look at this dermatitis. Avoiding latex gloves is a great start, im glad you have done that. To actually treat the dermatitis use Hc45 Cream which you can buy over the counter. Use it for a week or two. That should clear things us for you. Then, use a good quality barrier cream like Savlon Barrier several times a day. Obviously, avoid all soaps and perfumes etc etc.... If this does not help, you must go to your doctor. Good Luck Simon x x

Trauma to the skin causing dermatitis may be produced by several factors. The most serious types are caused by the protective organs on plants such as thorns and spines. These may penetrate the skin and cause severe pain and redness around the contact site, rash may follow. Other modified organs contain irritant substances e.g. Utricia in the leaf hairs, where secondary inflammation and dermatitis may be elicited on contact and breaking of these hairs. Most plants commonly encountered however have toxic saps located in all parts of the plant, which may be contacted from general handling. There are many substances which will cause dermatitis including acids, alkalis, phenols. The most important are the Essential and Volatile Oils.
