What can I apply to skin from a bad reaction to junipers?

I pruned several Junipers in my yard in shorts. Wherever the plants touched my skin, I had a horrible reaction. Poisonous glue like substance seeped into my skin. I have to use my fingernails to remove – not easy at all. This has been a nightmare after 5 years! I have been to 18 dermatologist and none have helped. Any suggestions?

I cannot speak to your reaction to the sap, but recommend covering arms and legs with longer clothing and wearing gloves when trimming plants or pruning.
