All of us probably, at least occasionally. Use acetone or brake cleaner and the like regularly as a hand cleaner and it increases the chances of developing stuff like allergies, dermatitis and eczema. Google 'acetone dermal absorbtion'Oh and, err, maybe I'll stop washing my oily/greasy hands in the stuff now too... I mean... WHO would do a daft thing like THAT!!??

Hmmm... I'm really glad you've posted that. For over a year now the skin on the back of a few of my fingers has been a right mess (between the lower two knuckles) - I'd been putting this down to stress although it's never happened before, yet it's more likely down to using copious amounts of brake cleaner to wash stuff having read that - thanks very much for posting that! It all makes sense - the fingers tend to start clearing up when I'm not doing the kinda work where I'm using brake cleaner daily for a few weeks or more, but comes back again when I restart... sounds so obvious now.
Been using all sorts of bleedin creams on em...
Thanks again mate!
