Suggest Treatment For Prickly Feeling And Numbness In The Hand
I recently changed the brake calipers on a truck and got an abundance of brake fluid on my hands for an extended period of time. long enough to absorb it into the skin. now I am having trouble with the sensation of my hands being asleep/pins and needles quite often throughout the day and night. what might my problem be? is there a danger of this being permanent?

You might be suffering from irritant contact dermatitis due to the accidental exposure. You may need to apply a mid potent topical corticosteroid cream like mometasone over the affected area.Also you may need to moisturise the skin regularly to relieve the burning sensation.If there is secondary infection yoy might need a dose of oral antibiotics. Regards.
