I started a new job recently which involves working with hydraulic oil on a day to day basis, the first week was fine.
A few days into the second week i was asked to clean out a pit of dirty oil with god knows what in it. I got oil onto my overalls which wernt waterproof so the oil soaked through and must have got onto my legs and arms, places i had lent on or kneeled down. I did have gloves on but they wernt tight fitting so the oil could have got down them

When i was leaving work that day my knees started itching, only slightly nothing much to complain about, over the last few days the rash and itching is getting worse, my hands today were very bad. and there were bumpy red patches with some very small blisters.

What i would like to know is will this clear up by itself if i make sure oil doesnt come into contact with my skin, i dont think i will have to do the same thing as mentioned above again and will continue to make sure oil doesnt come into contact with my skin

i read somewhere that if its contact dermititus it will last around 7 days and be at its worst after 4 days, which sounds about right.
