Is it true your not supposed to wear latex gloves if you have a open sore on your hands?

I work with Ink solvents at a printing company and they have caused a poison ivy like reaction on my hand. Ive heard that having sores then wearing Latex causes it to get in your blood stream.Is it true your not supposed to wear latex gloves if you have a open sore on your hands?
I don't think that wearing latex gloves with an open wound allows latex to enter the blod stream, it sounds more like you have developed a latex allergy, you should ask your employer to provide you with non-latex gloves like nitrle or vinyl.Is it true your not supposed to wear latex gloves if you have a open sore on your hands?
No thats not true. If you are getting a rash from the gloves your probably allergic to latex. Trying using vinyl gloves instead.
