How Can Allergic Itchy Bumps On The Hands Be Treated?

Hi there, I work as a floor sander. Constantly working with different types of wood. I find certain wood types leave me with a rash the next day. Happens on my hands and forearms, small red itchy bumps that last 2-5 days. I am wondering what is an effective cost friendly treatment for this? And would LDA help me with a more permanent solution?
