Used a different kind of bathroom cleaner, so guess it must be from that, but my hands are really itchy & I have come out in a bumpy rash. It looks a bit like nettle rash & seems to be rapidly spreading to just under my wrist. Very strange.

I always knew I was allergic to cleaning!!

Best leave those jobs to your other half then!

I am going to have a search to see if I have any piriton in the cupboard. Hopefully that will help clear it.

I obviously need myself a cleaner!

It appears to have gone down now, but best I stop doing housework, just incase it flares up again!

Yes stop-a good excuse!
My hands always go like that, I have to wear rubber gloves which I hate. If they get very bad I have to get cream on prescription but generally E45 does the trick.
