Medical Conditions - Hand Eczema

Hand eczema or hand dermatitis presents with dry and cracked skin, pain, burning sensation, itching, blisters, bleeding, redness, and scaly and crusty skin with or without pus. Things that irritate the skin, persistent wet hands (in hairstylists, nurses, plumbers, and caterers), and skin contact with allergic substances cause hand eczema. Avoiding the triggering or causative factor, using glycerin-based ointments and moisturizers rich in oil content, and using a glove while working with hands like cleaning or cutting vegetables help prevent eczema episodes.
