Sosovec, RN, MS, CNAA Increased glove usage and associated behaviors may result in some individuals experiencing an increase in skin irritations or even contact dermatitis. By undertaking a consistent, effective hand care regime, health-care professionals will maintain the integrity of their skin and their first line of defense against bloodborne pathogens and other infectious material. A hand care protocol should address the following: Hand washing Use of lotions/moisturizers Appropriate glove usage Hand Washing. The purpose of hand washing is to remove soil and transient microorganisms. After glove removal, hand washing rids the hands of powder and other debris. Wash hands thoroughly with an appropriate hand soap or antiseptic. Rinse hands thoroughly to remove residual soap. Dry hands appropriately with single-use towels or warm-air dryers. Concerns Frequent hand washing may dry skin. Some hand soaps may contain harsh detergents. Residual soap may become an irritant. Aggressive use of paper or other single-use towels may be irritating. Recommendations Wash hands prior to donning and immediately after removing gloves. Use a good-quality soap or antiseptic that is not harsh or caustic. Thoroughly rinse hands. Gently dry hands, pat dry or air dry. Use of Lotions/Moisturizers. Hand lotions will prevent dry skin and reduce the risk of developing skin irritations and contact dermatitis. Frequent and consistent use of an appropriate lotion is an integral component of a hand care regime. Concerns Not all lotions are compatible with antiseptic products. Hydrocarbon-based products are NOT compatible with latex gloves. Products containing mineral oil, petroleum or lanolin should not be used when wearing latex gloves. Recommendations Frequently apply appropriate hand lotion. Water-based lotions, such as Amino+Derm lotion, are preferred when wearing latex gloves. Appropriate Glove Usage. Some individuals may be sensitive to either the chemicals used in the manufacturing of gloves or the protein allergen in natural rubber latex. These sensitivities may be manifested as irritations, contact dermatitis or allergic reactions defined as either Type IV or Type I hypersensitivity. Most skin reactions are irritations, and most irritations can be managed by improved hand care and appropriate gloving practices. Dermal Reactions Irritations (Non-Allergic) Signs & Symptoms : Acute: Redness, burning, itching, pain. Chronic: Dry, crusty, hard bumps, sores, fissures, cracks. Signs and symptoms typically stop at the wrist where glove contact ceases. Potential Causes: Hand soaps, antiseptics, scrub solutions, glove chemicals. Glove powder, if not thoroughly washed off hands Climate cold, windy, or hot and arid. Emotional stress. Inappropriate hand care. Inappropriate glove usage. Management: Identify and remove causative agent. Allow hands to heal. Undertake a consistent hand care regime. Recommendations: Do not assume that the glove is the causative agent. Consider changing hand soaps. If the glove is determined to be the irritant, do not conduct a trial with another brand or glove type until hands are completely healed. Glove liners may be beneficial. Use of water-based hand lotions is encouraged. With powder-related irritations, powder- free gloves may be considered. Synthetic gloves may be indicated since they do not contain the same chemicals as latex gloves. Chemical Allergy - Type IV Hypersensitivity Signs & Symptoms: Itching, drying, redness, crusting, thickening of skin, hard bumps, sores, papules, vesicles. Signs and symptoms may spread up the arm beyond the border of the glove. Potential Causes or Predisposers: Glove chemicals: accelerators, preservatives, colorants, other additives. Poison ivy, poison oak. Soaps, detergents, disinfectants Individuals with chronic eczema Individuals who have other allergies. Management: Identify and remove causative agent. Allow hands to heal. May seek intervention from a dermatologist or an allergist. Glove selection: Nitrile, synthetic or one that is designed to reduce concentrations of chemical accelerators. NOTE: A chemical allergy, Type IV hypersensitivity will not progress systemically or to anaphylaxis. Protein Allergy - Type I Hypersensitivity Signs & Symptoms: Local: Moist, pink, raised hives, or urticaria, often blanched in center. Systemic: May produce swollen eyelids or face or respiratory distress; rarely progresses to anaphylaxis. Potential Causes or Predisposers: Natural rubber latex protein allergen. Individuals who are atopic or have a history of allergy or clinical reactivity. Possible cross-reactivity to certain food allergies: avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi and other fruits and vegetables. Management: Identify and remove causative agent. Seek medical management from a physician. Glove selection: Synthetic or nitrile exam gloves; synthetic surgical gloves, such as neoprene or polyisoprene. Recommendations: If you suspect that you may be sensitive to latex protein allergen, seek medical advice from your physician or employee/occupational health department. If you have been assessed as allergic to the protein allergen in latex and are currently wearing gloves labeled hypoallergenic, take note. Most gloves in the market today labeled hypoallergenic DO CONTAIN natural rubber latex and are specifically formulated for chemical allergies, not latex allergies. Hand Care Plan Hand washing: Routine hand washing should not exceed 15 seconds. Hand washing for procedural aspects of patient care should not exceed 30 seconds. Use tepid water Use a mild hand soap or antimicrobial agent Rinse hands thoroughly Dry gently Liberally apply a water-based lotion or moisturizer NOTE: Do not use over-the-counter hand care products in the clinical environment. Only products that have been evaluated and approved by the infection control department should be used. Download Adobe Acrobat version of this brochure.

Skin Rashes." A word

Skin Rash information produced by medical doctors About Us | Privacy Policy MedicineNet Home Diseases & Conditions A-Z List Skin Home Page Rash search help Printer-Friendly Format | Email to a Friend Previous | 1 2 Glossary Rash Center | Next Rash (cont.) In this Article Scaly patches of skin not caused by infection. Scaly patches of skin produced by fungus or bacterial infection. Red, itchy bumps or patches all over the place. Rash Glossary Rash Center Scaly patches of skin produced by fungus or bacterial infection When infections appear as rashes, the most common culprits are funguses orbacterial infections. Fungal infections: Fungal infections are fairly common but don'tappear nearly as often asrashes in the eczema category. Perhaps the most common diagnostic mistake madeby both patients and non-dermatology physicians is to call scaly rashes "afungus." For instance, someone with several scaly spots on the arms, legs, ortorso is much more likely to have a form of eczema or dermatitis than actual "ringworm" (the layman's term for fungus.) Fungal infections have nothing to do with hygiene -- clean people get themtoo. Despite their reputation, fungal rashes are not commonly caught from dogsor other animals, nor are they easily transmitted in gyms, showers, pools, orlocker rooms. In most cases they are not highly contagious between peopleeither. Treatment is usually straightforward. Many effective antifungal creams can bebought that the drug store without a prescription, including clotrimazole 1% and terbinafine 1%. Bacterial infections: The most common bacterial infection of the skin is impetigo . Impetigo is causedby staph or strep germs and is much more common in children than adults. Again,poor hygiene plays little or no role. Nonprescription antibacterial creams likebacitracin or Neosporin are not very effective. Oral antibiotics orprescription-strength creams like Bactroban are usually needed. For more, pleaseread the Impetigo article. Red, itchy bumps or patches all over the place. Outbreaks of this sort are usually either viral or allergic. Viral rash: While viralinfections of the skin itself, like herpes or shingles (a cousin of chickenpox ),are mostly localized to one part of the body, viral rashes are more oftensymmetrical and everywhere. Patients with such rashes may or may not have otherviral symptoms like coughing, sneezing or an stomach upset (nausea). Viral rashes usuallylast a few days to a week and go way on their own. Allergic drug rash: Most allergic drug rashes start within two weeks of taking a new medication,especially if the person has taken the drug before. It is very unlikely formedicine that has been prescribed for months or years to cause an allergic reaction. Becausethere is usually no specific test to prove whether a rash is allergic, doctorsmay recommend stopping a suspected drug to see what happens. If the rash doesn'tdisappear within five days of not taking the medication, allergy is unlikely. Although foods, soaps, and detergents are often blamed for widespread rashes,they are rarely the culprit. Other rashes Hives (urticaria) are itchy, red welts that come and go on various parts ofthe body. Most hives are not allergic, run their course, and disappear asmysteriously as they came. Because the term is vague, some people use "rash" to describe pimplyoutbreaks of acne or rosacea on the face. What should you do if you have a rash? Most rashes are not dangerous to a person or people in the vicinity (unlessthey are part of an infectious disease such as chickenpox ). Many rashes last awhile and get better on their own. It is therefore not unreasonable to treatsymptoms like itchy and/or dry skin for a few days to see whether the condition getsmilder and goes away. Nonprescription (over-the-counter) remedies include: Anti-itch creams containing camphor, menthol, pramoxine, or diphenhydramine Antihistamines like diphenhydramine, chlortrimeton, or loratadine Moisturizing lotions If these measures do not help, or if the rash persists or becomes morewidespread, a visit to a general physician or dermatologist is advisable. There are many, many other types of rashes that we have not covered in this article. So it is doubly important, if you have any questions about the cause or treatment of a rash to contact your doctor. This article is really just as the title indicates: "Rash 101 - Introduction to Common Skin Rashes." A word on smallpox vaccination in patients with rashes People with atopic dermatitis or eczema should not be vaccinated againstsmallpox, whether or not the condition is active. In the case of other rashes,the risk of complications is much less. Consult your doctor about the smallpox vaccine.
