[Column] I want to cure it right now! Those itchy, painful hands might actually be "hand eczema"! Using medication and proper aftercare are crucial! When you experience symptoms like rashes from washing dishes, painful cracks, small blisters, or eczema on your hands, and these symptoms don't seem to go away even with moisturizing care, the first thing you should suspect is "hand eczema (housewife's eczema)." The causes of "hand eczema (housewife's eczema)" include "chemical irritation" from the use of detergents and shampoos, and "physical irritation" from friction during housework and other tasks. These irritations strip the skin of its natural oils and moisture, worsening dryness and making the skin more sensitive to external stimuli, leading to symptoms such as inflammation, eczema, and severe itching. To heal hand eczema quickly, medications containing steroids with high anti-inflammatory effects are recommended. Applying it several times a day during the day and again before going to bed at night will be even more effective.Additionally, it is important to avoid direct contact with irritants by wearing gloves, to immediately dry your hands with a towel if they get wet from doing housework involving water, and to moisturize frequently after treatment. I want to know the difference between "chapped skin/chapped hands" and "hand eczema"! "Cracked or chapped skin" refers to a condition where parts of the skin, such as fingers, crack due to dryness. It is important to cover the affected area properly to protect it from water and irritation, and to promote blood circulation to allow it to heal.In contrast, "hand eczema" refers to a condition where inflammation causes itching, redness, rash, and peeling of the entire hand. It is important to effectively control the symptoms with medications such as steroids.
