While liquid latex affect eczema on my hand?
For halloween, I will use liquid latex on my hand but I have some eczema on the side of my hand, the latex will cover half of the affected area. Is this bad the eczema, will it worsen it?

hmmm well liquid latex may be a bit irritating, im assuming it’ll worsen your skin for a day or two, but maybe you can add gloves to your costume so you wont need to put it here?
one of my friends had eczema litteraly EVERYWHERE, he was a black guy, but his skin looked white because it was always peeling, all i know is he was sick and miserable and he always had to put vaseline on his skin
maybe you can try putting a water-repeller like vaseline on your skin first and then put the liquid latex over it???

Latex usually makes eczema worse. If you have a choice between latex and vinyl – pick vinyl. If not – .. you ain’t gonna wear it Very long, are you?
