[Treatment Review] I Treated My Skin Allergy, "Latex Allergy"

My mother woke up a few mornings ago and said the back of her hand was itchy.

I thought it was just a mosquito bite and didn't think much of it, but in the afternoon, the back of his hand was red and slightly swollen.

 

It was strange that everything else was fine but my hands were like that.

But my mother said that something like this happened to her three years ago. She said that she wore gloves while working and her hands were like that after working for about two days.

 

Then why this time?!!

 

I heard that you wore latex gloves instead of plastic gloves when cooking during this holiday season, and that's probably why it's so hot.

 

 

We decided to take her to the hospital right away.

There was a place near Sungshin Women's University that said the medicine worked well last time, so I went there again this time.

✔️ What is latex allergy?

 

This is an allergy that occurs when continuously exposed to natural latex rubber, and it is said that workers in medical institutions or food service industries with high exposure are at high risk of developing it.

 

 

It is said to occur in two types.

 

⭐️Immediately hypersensitive : This type of allergic reaction manifests itself immediately after exposure to latex rubber, and can range from mild to severe symptoms, including rhinitis, conjunctivitis, hives, and redness, and can even lead to anaphylactic shock.

 

⭐️ delayed hypersensitivity reaction : Contact dermatitis, in this case a reaction to chemicals used in the making of latex gloves.

Symptoms appear 6-48 hours after contact.

Initially, itching, dryness, and cracked skin appear, followed by pain, scabs, and rashes after 24-48 hours. Chronic exposure can also cause skin pigmentation.

It was the same three years ago when I was wearing gloves.

Apply the ointment in the morning and evening, but when applying hand cream or lotion, apply it after the ointment has been absorbed for a while.

They also explained the precautions in detail.
