I have developed a skin problem on several fingers. The skin gets thick and peels. Here is a picture of the problem.

I think it may be a reaction to epoxy but cannot be sure. Has anyone heard of or had a similar problem.

but since you've already identified the condition, if you read down the page it tells you to protect your skin from irritants and it would be my advice to limit any contact with anything that could fit under that banner. maybe try using rubber gloves

For me, lots of lotion, and vinyl gloves when working with certain adhesives.

I want to hear of other’s experience because it could also be a reaction to the disposable rubber gloves I use to protect from other substances, such as acetone.
