Abstract
Prevention methods are important for patients with hand eczema (HE), especially those with risk factors. Frequent use of moisturizers is encouraged. Few drugs have been approved specifically for HE. Topical corticosteroids remain the mainstay treatment. Several new topical and systemic drugs are currently in development for HE. Dupilumab has recently been shown effective for chronic HE. Established criteria can be used to help determine causality for occupational HE, which is important for worker's compensation. The second article of this CME series discusses prevention, management, treatment, and worker's compensation for HE.
