WOW what a response! It would appear that numerous people have had and
still have similar situations with their hands, I, we will no longer
suffer in silence.

Had several replies to use regular exam gloves under the dreaded
purple gloves

Others suggested hand creams

Another suggested that it was caused by an old racquetball injury in
Savannah-HA!
Not to me, the former Low Country Champ!

Many responders suggested Nitrile gloves

Two responders suggested changing to another synthetic material that
didn't require purple gloves

A couple of replies suggested baby powder

One insensitive person said it was just my problem and Ill quote;It's
just you!!!!
Yea, what do people in New England know?

Like the previous responder from up north one well-meaning sufferer with
eczema suggested K Y Jelly

Now here is a guy I worked with years ago who questioned me:'Could it be
tied to (my) extreme flatu-----? Yea , he's a yankee also

Several people suggested different brands of soap

I arrived at several conclusions. O & P has its fair share of weirdos,
O & P has a lot of people with hand skin problems seemingly caused by
the dreaded purple gloves or the powder within.
I need to obtain different gloves or try a topical ointment or cream.

Thank you for all the responses,
