Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wearing rubber gloves when in contact with soaps can help protect the skin from further irritation, regardless of the underlying cause of the dermatitis. Using wool, synthetics, and other dense fibers can exacerbate the condition. Rubbing the skin vigorously to dry can cause more irritation, and using hot water for bathing can further dry out and irritate the skin.
