I’m a woman in my 30s, and for the past few months I’ve been getting red, itchy patches on my hands whenever I use certain hand sanitizers. The skin sometimes feels like it’s burning, especially around my knuckles and between my fingers, and the dryness gets so uncomfortable that it distracts me while working. The flare-ups calm down when I stop using the sanitizer but return quickly once I start again.
Avoiding the suspected one is key, but patch testing can help identify exactly which ingredients to look out for in other products.
