I dove in Honolulu Hawaii. I had full wetsuit, boots and gloves but no hood so only my head was exposed.
Gloves touch something nasty or alive, you rub your head with your gloved hand (or just taking off your mask), now that goo has been transferred to your skin and you wake up with a rash. Welcome to diving in the ocean!

To paraphrase happy-diver, treat it with internal alcohol, since you are in Hawaii, a Singapore Sling would be perfect, repeat as necessary.
