Introduction: Hand dermatitis is a frequent condition within occupational skin diseases, with a prevalence of 80-88%; it can be explained by the fact that hands are the most used «tools» of the body. Objective: To determine the prevalence of irritant dermatitis related to hand hygiene in the nursing staff at a social security hospital. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study was carried out. Study subjects were the nursing staff of the special shift; they were asked for their informed consent and the modified questionnaire of the World Health Organization (WHO) Observer Manual for hand hygiene was applied. Results: We included 72 participants, 87% female and 13% male, with an age range of 20-54 years. The prevalence of irritant hand dermatitis was 41.6%, being higher (38%) in subjects with light-brown skin. Scales were seen in 13% as very severe damage on the ridges, and 5% presented cracks. Conclusions: The nursing staff of the special shift showed good adherence to the hand hygiene program. To strengthen this adherence, an inter-institutional study on tolerability to the guidelines established by the WHO is necessary so that the staff can decide which is the product that does not cause dermatitis.

“…People who suffer from AD show a reduced threshold of irritancy and, when exposed to water in an occupational setting or not, easily develop irritant contact dermatitis. Xerosis, desquamation, and cracked or fi ssured skin involve especially the palms [ 42 ]. I should specifi cally mention the signifi cant association recently observed between FLG mutation and fi ssured skin on the hands and/or fi ngers in adults but with a nearly signifi cant interaction with AD, suggesting that the effect occurred predominantly in subjects without AD [ 43 , 44 ].…”
