Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 65. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Patients affected with chronic hand eczema of endogenous and/or exogenous origin, age from 18 to 65 years
- Patients affected with eczema located on the hands for at least 3 months or with ≥ 2 disease flare-ups in the last year.
- Patients affected with atopic dermatitis affecting the hands and other areas of the body, provided the eczema lesions involve less than 30% of the body surface area.
You may not qualify if…
- Concurrent or previous treatment with immunosuppressants, except for short courses of systemic corticosteroids (less than one month of continuous treatment), or biologic agents that may affect the clinical aspects or progression of chronic hand eczema.
- Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids within one month prior to enrollment in the study.
- Patients using topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors within one week of study enrollment (this time frame is considered to provide a good balance between potential residual pharmacological effects and ethical considerations).
- Patients with chronic hand eczema of mixed etiology (e.g., allergic and atopic) or those considered "etiologically unclassifiable" will not be included in the data analysis.
