Are there any Home remedies for skin condition associated w/allergy?

My husband is having a serious reaction to the coolant used in the Machine shop he works at. This condition looks and feels very much like poison oak with the blistering and irritation.

Are there any Home remedies for skin condition associated w/allergy?
Alright, so let's look at this more closely. What it really sounds like you're asking is "Is there a natural remedy my husband can take that will make his body's wise symptoms go completely away...?" Yeah. There is: Stop exposing your sacred, delicate and extremely fragile skin to chemicals that are literally eating that skin alive, got it? That or wear gloves when dealing w/ the chemicals, or better yet, get a new job, one where you're not exposed to poisons. Seems like a no brainer to me.





On a slightly nicer note: Bach Flower Rescue Remedy Cream works wonders for almost any skin eruption. Aloe gel will help too, as will homeopathic sulfur, usually, especially if he is one who "picks" at himself. Your asking for a "cure", when he's just going to expose himself to the same stuff over and over again, is rather a ridiculous waste of all our times and energies, is it not? Imagine, for a moment, what all those fumes are doing to his lungs, kidneys and liver...Rather than trying to "shut his skin up" and suppress its message, isn't it really, truly time to find another way to earn money, besides doing something that will literally kill him? And here's another clue, if his hands are that much of a wreck, I can pretty much guarantee you he isn't following OSHA safety protocols and guidelines for handling toxic substances...time to wake up, kids.
Reply:Try rubbing his skin with a chammomile tea bag
Reply:There are no home remedies for situations like this. The best remedy probably is for your husband to change his job. Most allergies disappear once you stay away from the causative agent.
Reply:sounds like he has a reaction to glycol or other cutting fluids/oils,assuming that is what they are using as coolants.he should check with the epa safety person at the plant.of course if it is a small operation then he may find no help.constant exposure even with treatment is not going to work.change coolants or.........
