Abstract

Hand dermatitis is a common chronic skin condition that has many clinical forms including contact, hyperkeratotic, frictional, nummular, atopic, pompholyx and chronic vesicular hand dermatitis. Topical steroids are the first line agents used. Here, we report the successful response to topical pimecrolimus 1% cream in a patient with steroid resistant chronic vesicular hand dermatitis.
