Work-related hand dermatitis epiemiological studies in occupational dermatology
doctoral thesis
Hand eczema or hand dermatitis is a well-known problem in occupations with regular exposure to water and irritating agents ("wet work"). It is experienced frequently by nurses, hairdressers, housewives, food handlers and metal workers. Although hand dermatitis is a relatively infrequent cause of sick leave and medical care is sought by only a proportion of the cases, the symptoms are mostly perceived as troublesome in daily occupational and social life.
