    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Hand dermatitis (HD) is a prevalent skin condition with variable severity, from mild cases to chronic, disabling forms.
    • Chronic hand dermatitis (CHD) imposes a significant health-economic burden and diminishes patients' quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide evidence-based guidelines for the management of hand dermatitis.
    • To address the challenges in treating chronic hand dermatitis due to a lack of robust clinical trials.

    Main Methods:

    • The guidelines synthesize current knowledge on epidemiology, burden, quality of life, etiology, diagnosis, and classification of HD.
    • Management recommendations are based on an evidence-based approach.

    Main Results:

    • The guidelines offer a comprehensive overview of hand dermatitis, including its various forms and impacts.
    • They aim to improve the management of CHD through structured, evidence-based recommendations.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of HD requires understanding its diverse nature and associated burdens.
    • These guidelines provide a framework for evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of hand dermatitis.
