Hand Dermatitis(Eczema)
Hand dermatitis, also known as hand eczema, is a common condition affecting the skin on the hands. It can result in red, itchy, and inflamed skin, often accompanied by dryness and cracking.
This condition is more common in people whose hands are often in contact with water, detergents, and other irritants, for example, barbers, cleaners, and nurses.
There is no possibility of transmitting hand dermatitis from one individual to the other since it is a non communicable condition. But it can be chronic and especially hard to control when not treated correctly. The condition can best be managed by staying away from irritants, keeping the skin covered, and treating the affected areas to reduce symptoms and prevent itching. Since this is a severe condition, one should seek a dermatologist’s opinion to get the right treatment.
