Eczema on the hands can be treated with topical corticosteroid medications. When the stratum corneum is thickened, keratolytic agents such as salicylic acid preparations may be used to remove excess keratin. If secondary infection occurs, antimicrobial therapy is required. Additionally, it is essential to actively avoid triggering factors—such as contact with irritating chemical substances, hot water washing, and vigorous scratching.
