Hand Eczema from Rubber Gloves

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Textbook of Hand Eczema

Abstract

Both the chemicals in natural and synthetic rubber gloves and chemicals used during glove use can cause eczema. Occupations involving wet work are particularly at risk. The primary sensitizers are sulfur-containing chemicals, such as thiurams, dithiocarbamates, and mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives, thioureas and guanidine , used to accelerate the vulcanization process for both natural and synthetic rubber gloves. Successful treatment of contact allergy requires identification of the causative allergen(s) and subsequent selection of a glove that does not contain the offending chemical(s).
