Atopic dermatitis/eczema or neurodermatitis is a chronic skin disease that typically first manifests in infancy.

Contact dermatitis – also known as contact eczema – is an inflammatory non-infectious reaction of the skin to external substances and influences.

Urticaria is also known as hives or nettle rash. This condition consists of very itchy wheals that appear on the skin, similar to those that occur after contact with stinging nettles. Swelling (angioedema) may also occur, especially on the face, lips, eyelids, hands or feet.

Substances that are harmful to the skin, irritants, allergy-causing substances but also hereditary factors can be a reason for eczema of the hands. The symptoms differ greatly and vary in severity.
