Vesicular Hand Dermatitis

What is Vesicular Hand Dermatitis

This disorder is a severely pruritic reaction in individuals with a personal or family history of allergic manifestations. Hand eczema, also called hand dermatitis, is a skin condition in which the hands develop a rash and become red, dry, cracked, and inflamed. It is characterized by flares of congestion resulting in deep and superficial blisters, followed by peeling, scaling, and a dry, reddened surface. Flares generally result from contact with irritants, but stress is also a significant factor.

The most common occupational factor leading to dermatitis is frequent immersion of the hands in water.
