When i wear powdered latex gloves, some parts of my skin turn red, become dried and itchy. i have to work with gloves. so what is the solution?

Gloves: You might be allergic to the latex in the gloves. They make very good gloves out of nitrile. They are inexpensive and are almost like latex and are disposable. Otherwise you could use vinyl gloves but they are not as stretchy.
