ETA: I see in this case, she was told not to wear gloves because they aggravated her condition.
Soap + latex, on ANYONE'S hands, would probably chew them up in record time. Not to mention the water getting stuck under the gloves and drying out your hands. You should put on a new pair every time you wash your hands.

If you work in ANY restaurant you have to wash your hands a lot. If she developed a skin condition from all the handwashing, she has to find another line of business. Period.
