No: We do not get better from our allergies by exposing ourselves to our offensive allergens. On the contrary it may cause a more serious reaction. Only allergists may start pts. With a series of injections with extremely low dosis of allergens to desensitize a pt. From his/her allergies.

No!: You likely are experiencing an allergic reaction. You may just continue with minor skin reactions, but it is possible to have more serious reactions as your body and immune system become more sensitized. You need to report this to your employer and be seen by an Occupational Medicine specialist or a Dermatologist. You need protection from that exposure.
