Angel Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I suffer from contact dermatitis which is a nightmare in my job as a nurse and I've been warned several times that I am at high risk of developing a latex allergy - potentially life threatening if that develops. So I have to have special gloves ordered for me. I have to take an antihistamine everyday and if I get a flare up take a much stronger one along with steroid creams. I have to use a thick barrier cream 3-4 times a day I am allergic to -copper -nickel -cobalt (this is in print, ceramics, make up, gold jewellery and a whole host of everyday things, ) -biological wash detergents -normal plasters -most brands of makeup - I can't wear any foundation, fancy creams. I wear minimal eyeliner, eyeshadow on special occassions and hypoallergenic mascara At least I'm cheap to run against most wives which gives me more to spend on books and stichy things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I have some seasonal allergies, which cause some stuffiness and runny eyes, but nothing too terrible. I have mostly skin allergies, especially to perfumey lotions and things, which was awful at my last retail management job, which sold nothing but perfumey soaps and lotions. I also think I'm developing slight eczema, which my mother had terribly for most of her life. I'm getting it in splotches on my hands.
