Hand Eczema Treatment: Effective Relief & New Delgocitinib Cream

Suffering from persistent or recurring hand eczema (hand dermatitis)? This debilitating condition can severely impact your daily life, affecting family, work, hobbies, and sleep. Discover effective hand eczema treatment options at Southwest Dermatology.

Causes of Hand Eczema:

Most hand eczema cases stem from atopic/endogenous eczema, rooted in a weakened skin barrier and abnormal immune response. This often begins in childhood and may reappear in adulthood, particularly on the hands and face. Identifying and avoiding irritants is crucial for hand eczema management.

Breakthrough Treatment: Delgocitinib Cream

For hand eczema unresponsive to potent topical steroids, Delgocitinib cream, a new pan-JAK inhibitor, offers significant relief. Clinical trials demonstrate up to 70% improvement within 12 weeks, with 30% experiencing complete skin normalization. This cream provides a safer alternative to oral medications.

Delgocitinib Cream: Availability & Cost

Delgocitinib cream for hand eczema is available via private prescription from our dermatologists. While awaiting NICE approval for NHS use, this treatment offers hope for those seeking effective hand eczema relief. The approximate cost is £840* for a 60gm tube, with most patients needing 1-3 tubes annually. Consultation and allergy testing costs are separate.

*This excludes consultation costs and contact allergy patch testing costs, if recommended by your Dermatologist.

Accurate Diagnosis & Comprehensive Care

It's vital to differentiate hand eczema from other skin conditions. Our dermatologists provide accurate diagnosis and personalized hand eczema treatment plans, including contact allergy patch testing, to identify triggers and optimize management.
