Hi, I don't know which country you are in but in the UK it is up to your employer to protect you against chemicals etc.  They should provide you with "PPE" - Personal Protective Equipment; for instance in this case you should obviously have gloves and possibly protective plastic sleeves as well.  I suggest you speak to your supervisor and/or Health & Safety Advisor (if there is one).  In the factory where I work they provide PPE plus barrier creams, and if anyone still has any problems they arrange medical assessments and treatments, or move the person to a different process so they don't come into contact with the problem chemical.  If you aren't in the UK then I suggest you find out what the legislation is for your country.  Hope this helps!
