Hand eczema: possible risks and choice of therapy

Hand eczema is a common disease – up to 5% in the general population. In addition, eczema is closely related to atopy and, like atopic dermatitis, to a mutation in the FLG gene. In addition to genetic factors, eczema is caused by external irritants and toxic substances. Eczema often occurs in famili...

description Hand eczema is a common disease – up to 5% in the general population. In addition, eczema is closely related to atopy and, like atopic dermatitis, to a mutation in the FLG gene. In addition to genetic factors, eczema is caused by external irritants and toxic substances. Eczema often occurs in families with atopic diseases, including asthma, allergic rhinitis/hay fever (and food allergies), and atopic dermatitis. These diseases share a common pathogenesis and often occur together in the same person and/or family. Eczematous rashes are often accompanied by itching. This symptom can lead not only to sleep disturbances but also to secondary infections. According to some data, the rate of infections in eczema can be more than 70%. In such cases, the drugs of choice are combined glucocorticosteroids (GC), which in addition to GC contain an antimycotic and an antibiotic. Our practical experience shows the high effectiveness of the combination of beclomethasone dipropionate, gentamicin, and clotrimazole not only in cases of eczema complicated by secondary infection but also in patients with other infected chronic dermatoses. This article reviews these and other practical aspects and problems in the treatment of hand eczema, discusses the etiological factors that lead to the development of the disease, and presents current data from clinical recommendations and guidelines for the treatment of eczema.
