A member asked:
Hand eczema" and "atopic eczema" are not interchangeable terms, meaning they are completely different conditions, correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What are you asking?: Most often, atopic eczema affects the creases of the elbows and knees. Several varieties of eczema involve the hands primarily; for these, look for what you might be allergic / sensitive to. Management may be similar, and a cause may or may not be identified. Most things share similarities and differences.
