I accidentely touched my face with gloves and oil while at work and broke out with the worst case of contact dermatitis. It went away after two weeks but I would liike to prevent that. Along with not touching my face anymore I was wondering if there was a lotion or cream to protect the skin for a few hours? Any advice would be great.

Cetaphil. I buy it at Cub foods, Wal-Mart does not carry it.
Otherwise, if you can't find it and don't want to go to a doctor, talk to a pharmacist, they can recommend over the counter items for you or tell you if they think you need to see a doctor.

I have tried many lotions, Aveeno included, but have found none work better than Vaseline Intensive Care for Advanced Healing. Seems to work much better than the others. I just recently tried it and it has relieved the burning and itching on my face. It is fragrance free also.

The best way to prevent contact dermatitis is to identify what you are allergic to and avoid it.
