[Self-check] That persistent hand rash might be "hand eczema"!

For mothers who frequently come into contact with water through household chores such as cooking, laundry, and washing dishes, as well as childcare, dry, chapped hands are a common source of worry.

Even those who know that dry hands are caused by roughness in winter and diligently moisturize their hands tend to neglect this in summer. However, many people experience rough hands in summer due to excessive sweating.
But is that really just chapped hands...?

If your hands don't heal even with moisturizing care, it might be hand eczema that has progressed from dry, chapped hands.
Let's check whether what you're currently suffering from is dry, chapped hands or hand eczema!

How did you do on the self-check you just completed?
Symptoms such as small blisters, painful cracks, and severe itching, as well as rough hands even in the summer, may indicate hand eczema.

There are two main causes of hand eczema: "chemical irritation" from the use of detergents and shampoos, and "physical irritation" from friction during household chores and other tasks.
These irritants strip the skin of its natural oils and moisture, worsening dryness. Dry hands become more sensitive to external stimuli, leading to symptoms of "hand eczema," such as inflammation, rashes, and severe itching.

Both types of irritation are unavoidable in a mother's daily life. So, how can this hand eczema be treated?

You want to get rid of painful itching and other symptoms as quickly as possible, right? Now that you know what you're suffering from isn't just dry hands but hand eczema, are you thinking that you'll need complicated treatment at a hospital?

Moms who are busy with childcare and work sometimes don't even have time to go to the hospital.

For moms struggling with hand eczema, a recommended way to quickly treat it is to use medication containing steroids, which have a high anti-inflammatory effect. You can buy them at drugstores without going to the hospital, and they are effective in relieving painful itching!

If you're looking for a medication containing a highly effective anti-inflammatory steroid, I recommend "Mentholatum MediQuick Cream S".

MediQuick contains an ante-drug steroid with high anti-inflammatory effects!
Five active ingredients effectively treat troublesome hand eczema and rashes.

Because it's a cream type that spreads smoothly and isn't sticky, it won't interfere with housework after application, which is another great point for moms.

For best results, apply it frequently and before going to bed.
Once your hand eczema symptoms have improved, it's important to gradually reduce the frequency of using MediQuick. Also, don't forget to moisturize your hands daily to prevent a recurrence!

Severe hand eczema can be effectively improved with the use of appropriate medication.
Instead of just moisturizing your hands because you think they're dry and rough, it's important to treat them properly and take care of them after they've worked so hard every day doing housework and raising children.
