<h1>Hand rashes</h1>

<div align=justify>A hand rash which is also known as "dermatitis" has many causes. They may be externally triggered or are internally-generated. Since it is known that there is a considerable number of people who are affected by this certain skin condition, here are some vital information that can help you manage this skin condition. * Stress and other emotional "ups and downs" are rarely the cause of hand rashes. They are associated in a way if the patient has a particular mannerism in dealing with stress like rubbing their hands constantly while experiencing extreme anxiety. * Unless you consult a dermatologist, the cause for the rashes will remain unknown. There are millions of everyday things that can trigger such skin reactions. * Heredity plays a great role in the part of hand rashes wherein a tendency to have skin reactions is often inherited. It is best to look into your family history first. * Upon suspicion of allergy to some external factors, patch test will be done by your dermatologist. The skin on your arms and back will be tested against several substances to see what elements causes your skin to react. * While ointments are often prescribe to relieve the itching, some cases of hand rashes, specially if an infected is detected, may need oral antibiotics as part of the treatment. Stay away from substances that is causing the reaction during the treatment as advised by your own dermatologist. * Cool weather can also aggravate the condition of the rash. During cold months, you can protect your hands by wearing leather gloves if you are outdoors. * If you are using gloves, replace them when necessary -- most especially the ones that already have holdes in them. * When washing your hands, remove your jewelry. Rings trap soap and may further exacerbate the rash. As much as possible, use lukewarm water with very little soap. * Do not forget the substance that causes the allergic reaction. This is an important step in controlling the flare-ups. * Be patient. Remember that it's normal for hand rashes to look worse when they are healing. Do not try to experiment with the medication and just simply stick to the regimen as advised by your dermatologist. </div>
