Any Recommendations For Rubber Gloves For Washing Dishes?

Have a flare up for 2 weeks now. Tops of hands really bad and hurt. Seems dishwater is making it worse. Is there any kind of special gloves for this. Thank you for any help.

I would make sure gloves were latex FREE, latex is a known irritant. I would: coat area affected with cortisone ointment, put on white cotton gloves, put on latex free gloves and close wrists with rubber bands. This worked for me very well ! I also do up to the cotton gloves at night ! Good luck 😃

I've used Playtex before I had psoriasis and they made my skin it. Thought maybe hypoallergenic or something. Thank you for the suggestion, I will try them again anyway. Also thank you for adding me. Have a great day.

- Material: Opt for natural rubber latex gloves if you are not allergic, as they can help avoid dryness and irritation caused by hand-washing and sanitizers.
- Sweat Management: To reduce sweating, which can worsen psoriasis, wear thin cotton gloves underneath the rubber gloves.

Always consult with your dermatologist for personalized advice.
