Most products say they are an irritant

Yes. If you rub them into your skin.
If it's in the air why aren't his hands, arms, face effected?

He may have some other problem and whatever is in the air sets it off. You just need to keep it under control

regular baths plenty of moistyriser or zerobase  rubbed into effected areas three times  a day

We know he is sensitive washing powder

Mark needs to be careful though as nothing is proven

I just know if I have a week off it clears

Sensitive skin doesn't have to be all over - I suffer with heat rash on my back and chest which only started in my mid 20s.

Could be claim coming :(

I doubt that would be the case its not like mark done anything wrong, lots of people have to leave jobs because of reactions and you can hardly. Blame someone else for something your body is doing......hmmmmm it is 2011 so I wouldn't be surprised.

Mark I had the same happen to me, after cleaning for ten years so fairly tolerant to most things. i tried a sample of extract chem boom red blotchiness saw
 gp and reckoned it was  reaction took a antihistamine and it went away. It may only be one thing so change your products over one by one to the competers best similar product,

Shaun, Have I not seen a picture of you wearing a hoody, dancing, but not with a tv under your arm ;D


My eyes sometimes go bloodshot when cleaning. Can`t work out what chemical or process I am using. Don`t feel any discomfort.

He goes to have an allergy test this week.  We have started to use spitfire advanced liquid prespray to see if that makes a change.

Will let you know how it goes.

Hope its not Powerburst as its a great chem.

If it's Powerburst I know which one would have to go if he was my helper.  ;D
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I`ve looked through the posts and seen some possible answers.....

I used to be in the garage trade and suffered from blotches on my legs and i was told by the GP it was hair molucles getting blocked/infected on my legs etc, due to oils, chemicals etc from overalls.

I also get hot very quickly which does not help either with pores opening to let in chems!!

Ohhh the joys of getting older  :-[

Sounds like a trip to G.P
