Hand eczema is widely prevalent and, as it is a very visible condition associated with severe itching or pain, has serious consequences for the affected person including a high psychological impact. Different disease patterns can be identified according to the course of the illness, appearance of symptoms, degree of severity, or catalysts.
The main symptoms are pain in the hand, numbness, and tingling in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the thumb side of the ring finger. [1] Symptoms are typically most troublesome at night. [2] Many people sleep with their wrists bent, and the ensuing symptoms may lead to awakening. [7]
There are over 100 types of arthritis. [10] [5] [6] The most common forms are osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) and rheumatoid arthritis.

[2] Pain is made worse by movement of the thumb and wrist, and may radiate to the thumb or the forearm. [2]
Symptoms can range from minor to severe and can be obvious or subtle. The right arm and hand are more likely to be affected than the left. Symptoms include atrophy of the arm or hand, claw hand, constant crying (due to pain), [10] intrinsic minus hand deformity, [11] paralysis of intrinsic hand muscles, and C8/T1 Dermatome distribution numbness.
