Atopic dermatitis, eczema or diathesis are synonyms of the disease under consideration. It affects fairly extensive skin areas, but most often occurs in the neurodermite on the arms. The nature of the pathology is neuro-allergic, so quite often the problem disappears on its own, without special medical measures.
Neurodermatitis on the hands - causes
Described dermatitis occurs due to such factors:
- physical or emotional overexertion for a long time;
- genetic and hereditary predisposition;
- non-observance of the regime of the day, insufficient amount of rest;
- intoxication of the body;

Extensive neurodermatitis of the hands and fingers can also appear for the following reasons:

Moreover, neurodermatitis in the hands in the absence of proper therapy can develop into a chronic form and proceed very long with periods of remission and exacerbations.
