Innovative management of severe hand dermatitis

Dermatol Clin. 2010 Jul;28(3):453-65. doi: 10.1016/j.det.2010.03.001.

Abstract

The successful treatment of hand dermatitis (HD) depends less on the selection of the proper topical steroid or a particular systemic agent than on addressing any underlying cause or perpetuating factor. Thus, innovative treatment is based on comprehensively addressing the patient's problem. Aggressive approaches may be required for the most severe forms of HD.
