If you are troubled by a skin condition affecting your hands, you are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand eczema is a skin condition in which the hands become rough due to a weakened skin barrier function<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d What is hand eczema?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hand eczema is a skin condition characterized by cracked skin and the formation of small blisters on the hands<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excessive hand washing and exposure to detergent ingredients can strip the skin of its moisturizing components, leading to a weakened skin barrier function and the development of hand eczema<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2753 Is stress related to hand eczema? Causes explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cause of hand eczema is skin dryness leading to a weakened skin barrier function<\/mark>. There is no established link with stress.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skin on the hands and fingers has a thicker stratum corneum to help withstand external irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, frequent wet work or prolonged contact with detergents and similar substances can cause moisture to be lost from the skin<\/mark> if not properly cared for afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the skin barrier function is compromised, the skin becomes more vulnerable to external irritation, leading to symptoms such as cracking and blisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, when the skin loses moisture and is subjected to various forms of irritation, the stratum corneum loses its elasticity and cracks. To help prevent hand eczema, it is important to make a habit of minimizing irritation to the fingertips on a daily basis<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
