What is Hand Eczema?
Hand eczema is a skin disease that causes inflammation and irritation on the skin. It is often caused by factors such as allergic reactions, irritants, genetic predisposition, or stress. Frequent hand washing, exposure to chemicals, and cold weather can also trigger hand eczema.

- Itching

Treatment Options
The various methods used for treating hand eczema can vary based on the patient's condition and the severity of symptoms. The primary treatment methods we apply in our clinic include:
-
Topical Steroids: Corticosteroid creams are used to reduce inflammation and alleviate itching. This treatment is generally recommended for short-term use.
-
Moisturizers: Regular treatment of moisturizing creams is essential to increase skin hydration. This prevents the skin from drying out and speeds up the healing process.
-
Allergy Testing: If the cause of hand eczema is an allergic reaction, appropriate allergy tests can be conducted, and patients are advised to avoid triggering substances.
-
Light Therapy (Phototherapy): This method uses UV rays to treat the skin, which can reduce inflammation and promote skin healing.
-
Immune System Modulating Treatments: In severe cases, medications that regulate the immune system may be used. This treatment can reduce the recurrence of eczema.
Protection and Prevention
To prevent hand eczema, it is important to pay attention to the following recommendations:
-
Avoid Chemicals: Stay away from detergents and chemicals that may irritate the skin as much as possible.
-
Regular Moisturizing: Regularly moisturize your hands and dry them immediately after contact with water.
-
Manage Stress: Stress can exacerbate eczema symptoms, so it's important to focus on stress management techniques.
