What is
Chronic hand eczema
?
Chronic hand eczema is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that affects the hands, causing dryness, redness, cracking, itching, and even painful blisters. It often results from frequent exposure to irritants, allergens, or repeated hand washing, making it common among people in professions that require regular hand contact with chemicals or water.
Chronic hand eczema is often triggered by repeated exposure to irritants and allergens. Common causes include:
- Frequent handwashing and use of hand sanitizers
- Exposure to chemicals, detergents, or cleaning agents
- Allergic reactions to substances like latex or fragrances
- Cold, dry weather
- Genetic predisposition
- Stress and immune system factors
Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, preventing flare-ups, and restoring the skin barrier.
Common treatment options include:
- Prescription-strength topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Non-steroidal creams to relieve symptoms
- Barrier creams and intensive moisturizers to protect the skin
- Avoidance of irritants, including harsh soaps and detergents
- In severe cases, systemic treatments such as oral medications or biologics
