We have a member of staff who have been advised to wear cotton gloves under vinyl due to skin irritation - not allergy, has anyone else come up against this? - I have advised changing with every pair of outer gloves - non sterile only are required.

Just curious, but is the irritation being treated and what is it due to? The vinyl on top of the cotton will cause extra moisture and I would have thought that this would cause further irritation.
