Microair Barrier

J'ai pu obtenir un résultat très satisaisant avec les chaussettes et les gants Microair Barrier en peu de temps.

Après 3 ans avec les pieds ouverts et les mains mal en point, je ne pouvais qu'espérer un miracle, le miracle n'est pas arrivé, mais la société AllergyCare l'a fait.

C'est tout simplement très agréable de pouvoir à nouveau marcher correctement et de ne plus ressentir de douleurs permanentes dans les pieds.

Après une longue période de soins à l’hôpital de l’Île de Berne et à Burgdorf j'ai dû faire remarquer aux médecins que je réagissais encore au cuir, malgré de très bonnes chaussures et de très bons bracelet de montre. Nous avons donc fait de nouveaux tests très positifs, et j’ai reçu un prospectus et un échantillon de chaussettes Microair Barrier de l’hôpital de l’Île de Berne. Sur le chemin du retour, j'ai lu la brochure d'AllergyCare et j'ai pensé, oui, les choses qui ne peuvent pas aider ne peuvent pas faire de mal.

Aujourd'hui, je suis très heureux et satisfait d'avoir lu méticuleusement cette brochure. (E. N., 08/2014)

J'utilise ce produit pour éviter la réaction aux substances de certaines chaussures. Je le trouve efficace pour réduire les réactions qui étaient auparavant assez sévères avec une éruption d’urticaire et une irritation, qui perturbaient le sommeil. Je n'ai plus besoin de prendre d'antihistaminiques ni de crème aux steroïdes. Leur utilisation dure de 4 à 6 mois, je les porte plusieurs fois par semaine.

Avant d'acheter les chaussettes, j'ai utilisé une gamme de crèmes allant des crèmes hydratantes comme Double Base à la plus puissante, la crème aux stéroïdes Dermovate. Elles n'ont jamais vraiment fait effet et le problème revenait toujours. Depuis l’achat de vos chaussettes il y a un an, j’ai eu quelques crises très très minimes qui, contrairement à avant, sont un peu une démangeaison et une peau squameuse (auparavant ma peau se brisait, saignait et rendait la marche difficile). Normalement, je traite ça avec de la Dermovate une fois par jour pendant quelques jours. Je continue à hydrater mes pieds régulièrement mais les chaussettes ont stoppé toute autre poussée majeure. En raison du patch test découvrant que j’ai une réaction allergique grave à Acid Yellow 36 (et aucun fabricant de chaussures ne peut garantir que le colorant n’est pas présent dans leurs chaussures), je porte mes chaussettes barrier chaque fois que je porte des chaussures en cuir c’est à dire normalement 6 jours par semaine. (B.

The micro air barrier socks are brilliant and allow me to wear shoes that would otherwise cause severe contact dermatitis. I have a proven ( following patch testing) allergy to PTBP(shoe glue) I have washed the barrier socks repeatedly and so far they have lasted well.

For the small number of people who require these products they are truly transformational. 
I do not require any medication when I use the socks whereas previous needed emollients and steroid creams. (F. S., 2015)

I've recently been diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis to rubber accelerants, such as mercapto mix chemicals. God knows why it's suddenly happened!? but for me it meant that whenever I wore shoes with rubber in them (which is all shoes!) I came out in excema on the soles of my feet that would crack, get infected and make even walking around a bit of a nightmare. With my hands I found it was the steering wheel of my car that was doing it and I had the same excema on the palms of my hands. I was in the army for 10 years so I've thought perhaps sweating in boots a lot could have slowly caused me to become allergic? I don't know the reason but after 2 hospital patch tests I'm sure of the irritants causing it.  The doctors didn't know what to make of it and told me the only cure was to avoid all rubber, however that's just not possible as it's everywhere! I've had to give up football, cricket and running temporarily due to the footwear and glove issues. The treatment I get from my doctor is just the standard excema steroid and moisturiser cream which I hate and is ineffective. When it got very bad I took steroid tablets which completely cured the condition as it suppresses the immune system, however these aren't nice and can have some very dodgy side affects apparently and also as soon as I stopped taking them and came into contact with rubber again the excema came back.  Thankfully I stumbled across your sight while trying to find non-rubber shoes and ordered the gloves and socks. I wear the socks every day when I'm wearing shoes. I have a pair of trainer socks under them and normal thin socks over the top, it's a bit warm... but my feet have almost completely returned to normal! I can wear trainers again and most shoes although with some it still seems to affect them. The same is true with my hands and I wear the gloves every time i'm driving with a pair of normal gloves over the top, it's a bit odd and you feel a right weirdo explaining to people why your wearing gloves all the time, however I've got my hands almost back to normal so I couldn't care less! I can't emphasise enough what these products have done for me and I use them every day, without them i'd go back to cracked and infected feet and hands. I've got a couple of pairs of socks and gloves which I alternate after 3 days or so to wash. Because I don't wear the socks next to the skin they don't get covered in sweat and other nice stuff.. so I can get away with wearing them longer. This seems to make them last longer and I'm still using them all, although one pair of gloves has stitching coming away on the fingers. The only thing that could perhaps improve them is if the seam were on the side of the sock instead of the sole. This can be a bit uncomfortable at times and I find that if your feet get wet the allergy proteins can penetrate through the seam and you end up with a red mark running down your foot. This is still nowhere near as bad as before however!  I'll be ordering more in the near future just in case and this should without doubt be available under prescription.  The amount of money I've spent on steroid cream, moisturiser cream, private hospital dermatology appointments to no avail whatsoever, could all have been avoided if I'd seen these earlier. No doctor or dermatologist I've seen is aware of them which should also be changed. They're obviously not a cure but without doubt they're the best treatment/preventative measure out there.  Thank you for trying to get these on prescription and for all your help, just let me know if I can be of any further assistance. (M.

For many years now I have suffered with a chronic skin condition affecting my skin, in particular the soles of my feet.  I have had various diagnosis and many prescriptions for steroids and emollients to manage this debilitating condition.  In September 2014 after suffering for about eighteen months with the latest particularly painful flare up I became very depressed.  This was because all the strong steroids had damaged my skin and I really could not leave the house.  I was in a great deal of pain as my skin was so sore and cracking then bleeding, the risk of infection a terrible worry and I had to apply dermovate steroids then epaderm in great quantities, I was taking painkillers and anti-histamines.  A complete nightmare.  I then changed my G.P. who referred me to a Dermatologist who I would not be able to see until the 26th November 2014.  It was also suggested that I may have developed an allergy to chromates used in the tanning process for leather goods, shoes, handbags etc.  As my appointment was such a long way off I looked on the internet and found this product and thought I'd give it a try.  I am so glad I did.  These socks have been a life saver.  I hardly ever worry now about infection and wear these socks most days especially when going out.  I only have to apply steroids about twice a week and emollients every other day.  This is such a dramatic change from having to apply these emollient creams almost on an hourly basis.  This is a terrific product.  My husband and I are thrilled about the healing effect these socks have had and feel they should be available on prescription.  They would save an absolute fortune for the NHS and anyone suffering as I have.  I have spent an enormous sum of money in recent years on prescriptions and other items to try to do what wearing these socks has done in such a short space of time.  They wash really well and come up like new everytime but it would be nice to have a spare pair. (J.
