Skin Problem

Hello Dear, I am working in an industry where resin and paint are basic raw material. From the last month i am having severe itching over my whole body and the bruises are seen. my work is not completely on the shop floor but i have to check the dry painted surfaces physically & else too. Kindly guide me what type of safety equipments should i use. means what type f safety masks and gloves to be used. As their may be fumes and paint dust in the atmosphere.

Thanks & regards
Abhishek
