How do i prevent rashes on my fingers when i peel onions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid the contact: Contact dermatitis is caused by the direct contact with the onion. You can wear latex or nitrile gloves when you peel the onions, so that your skin does not actually touch the onion. After you are finished, wash your hands with lots of water.
