Jason, there are gloves with a dusting of talc inside to prevent that sweaty feeling, but you would need to switch out those as often as you come into contact with a potential contaminent, yes?

Hospitals use waterless antibacterial wipes that might be of help. The after- work care that has been recommended by others is so necessary. Once you have brought your hands back to a healthy condition, it will be easier to keep them that way with just normal care.

We buy cotton gloves by the case, but I think the important thing is that you wear a glove at night that breathes and prevents the lotion from being wiped off. Pick a fragrance free lotion, because those can sting a wound. I recommend Vaseline Intensive Care because it is easy to find. Hospital lotions are probably better. Slather on the VIC, put on the gloves and I think you will begin to see the difference the next morning.

My 2 cents. Let us know how things turn out, ok?
