Systemic therapy and the use of complementary and alternative medicine in patients with recognized occupational hand eczema in Denmark: A cross‐sectional questionnaire‐based study

Abstract: Background: Concerns have been raised that a chronic course of hand eczema (HE) could be fostered by a lack of efficient treatment at an early stage.Objectives: First, to assess the prevalence of systemic treatment in patients with chronic occupational HE (OHE) and relate this to demographic data, HE severity, and atopic dermatitis (AD). Second, to explore the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the same population.Methods: Baseline data were obtained from a registry-based study including pa… Show more

“…Alitretinoin treatment may require medical and laboratory monitoring, and a pregnancy prevention programme for women of child‐bearing age/potential 16 . Due to the limitations of current treatment options, CHE disease management remains difficult and unsatisfactory 2,4,5,16–20 . Consequently, safe and effective treatment options specifically developed for long‐term control of CHE across subtypes are needed 17 …”

“…An earlier survey of dermatology clinics in Germany that included 223 patients reported systemic therapy use in 11.7% 18 . Similarly, a survey of 1203 patients with occupational CHE in Denmark reported that 10% had received systemic therapy, increasing to 13.3% in those with self‐reported moderate to severe disease 19 . Age >35 years, previous or current atopic dermatitis, and severe eczema were factors related to use of systemic treatment.…”

“…Hand eczema (HE) (or dermatitis) is an inflammatory skin disease located to the hands, wrists or lower forearms with a 1‐year prevalence of at least 9.1% in the general population 1 . Risk factors related to a poor prognosis are wet work, higher age, lower socio‐economic status, and a history of atopic dermatitis (AD) 2–4 . HE can become chronic and is associated with decreased quality‐of‐life (QoL) and distress 1,5 .…”
