As a mean to prevent skin dermatoses caused by the use of gloves in the home, a survey was made of housewives between the ages of 20 and 65 years in Aichi prefecture (Japan), and the relationship between the use of these gloves and the skin irritation was investigated. The following results were obtained. Among the 792 housewives interviewed, 456 were found to use gloves in the home (57.5 percent of the total). Some 13.4 percent, or 61 women, had experienced some form of skin trouble as a result. Itchiness was the most common complaint, followed by eruptions and redness. The most frequent location was between the fingers (interdentium), followed by the fingers and palms. The skin problem arose most frequently in summer and winter, followed by spring and fall, in that order. The gloves causing the dermatitis were equally divided between rubber and polyvinyl types. Some 34.4% of those afflicted sought medical treatment by a doctor, and another 47.5 percent spread ointment or the like on the affected areas. Twenty-years-olds were more afflicted than those in their thirties, but not significantly so. Those who had experienced skin trouble switched to the use of gloves because of rough hands caused by detergents, while many women interviewed stated they did not want to touch the detergent. Many who were bothered by skin afflictions from gloves were also more likely than those not so affected to break out because of diet, suffer a rash from drugs or plants, or develop a detergent-induced skin problem.
