Abstract
ZusammenfassungDie S2k‐Leitlinie „Diagnostik, Prävention und Therapie des Handekzems (HE)“ gibt auf der Grundlage eines evidenz‐ und konsensbasierten Ansatzes konkrete Handlungsanweisungen und Empfehlungen für die Diagnostik, Prävention und Therapie des HE. Die Leitlinie wurde auf der Grundlage der deutschen Leitlinie „Management von Handekzemen“ aus dem Jahr 2009 und der aktuellen Leitlinie der European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) „Guidelines for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of hand eczema“ aus dem Jahr 2022 erstellt. Allgemeines Ziel der Leitlinie ist es, Dermatologen und Allergologen in der Praxis und Klinik eine akzeptierte, evidenzbasierte Entscheidungshilfe für die Auswahl sowie Durchführung einer geeigneten und suffizienten Therapie für Patienten mit Handekzemen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Leitlinie basiert auf zwei Cochrane‐Reviews zu therapeutischen und präventiven Interventionen beim HE. Die übrigen Kapitel wurden überwiegend basierend auf nicht systematischen Literaturrecherchen durch die Expertengruppe erarbeitet und konsentiert. Die Expertenkommission bestand aus Mitgliedern von allergologischen und berufsdermatologischen Fachgesellschaften und Arbeitsgruppen, einer Patientenvertretung und Methodikern. Im Rahmen einer Konsensuskonferenz am 15.09.2022 wurden die Vorschläge für die Empfehlungen und Kernaussagen unter Verwendung eines nominalen Gruppenprozesses konsentiert. Der strukturierte Konsensfindungsprozess wurde professionell moderiert. Die vorliegende Leitlinie hat eine Gültigkeit bis zum 22.02.2028.

Abstract
The consensus-based guideline "Diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hand eczema (HE)" provides concrete instructions and recommendations for diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of HE based on an evidence- and consensus-based approach. The guideline was created based on the German guideline "Management von Handekzemen" from 2009 and the current guideline of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) "Guidelines for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hand eczema" from 2022. The general goal of the guideline is to provide dermatologists and allergologists in practice and clinics with an accepted, evidence-based decision-making tool for selecting and conducting suitable and sufficient therapy for patients with hand eczema. The guideline is based on two Cochrane reviews of therapeutic and preventive interventions for HE. The remaining chapters were mainly developed and consented based on non-systematic literature research by the expert group. The expert group consisted of members of allergological and occupational dermatological professional associations and working groups, a patient representative, and methodologists. The proposals for recommendations and key statements were consented by using a nominal group process during a consensus conference on September 15, 2022. The structured consensus-building process was professionally moderated. This guideline is valid until February 22, 2028.

Abstract
Eczematous diseases (contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, hand eczema) are among the most frequent findings in dermatological clinical practice. A large body of evidence exists on structural and functional skin barrier damage in eczematous diseases, and on the importance of interventions aimed to repair such damage. While there is substantial agreement on pharmacological treatment, more sparse data are available on role, indications and usefulness of topical non-pharmacological treatments, despite significant research and progress in the composition and technology of emollients, cleansers and barrier creams significantly changed and expanded the functional activities of these products. This often leads to inadequate prescription and/or use, which increase individual and social costs of the disease and make the products useless or, in some cases, even counterproductive. This consensus document, discussed and compiled in a series of meetings by a group of Italian dermatologists experienced in the field of eczematous diseases, summarizes epidemiology and clinical features of the nosological entities of the "eczema family", illustrates the chemical/biochemical structure of emollients, cleansers and barrier creams, and aims to help physicians to exploit the full potential of available products, by providing a detailed but practical guide on characteristics, indications and correct use of non-pharmacological treatments currently available for eczematous diseases.

Abstract
Occupational contact dermatitis, including occupational allergic contact dermatitis, is one of the most common occupational diseases. Making a timely and accurate diagnosis is important to improving the outcome. Taking a work history and patch testing are essential elements in the diagnostic process. Management, based on an accurate diagnosis, must include both medical treatment to address the disease and workplace modifications as appropriate to reduce exposure the causative agents.
