PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - An Asian American physician presents with dry scaling on her hands. Frequent handwashing makes it worse, and it sometimes cracks. She has allergic rhinitis, and she had more widespread atopic dermatitis in her youth. This is a case of chronic atopic hand dermatitis (Figure 153-1). Her physician recommended she use Cetaphil (or equivalent non-soap cleanser) instead of soap and water for handwashing. Triamcinolone 0.1% ointment was prescribed for use twice daily, including use of cotton gloves overnight over the ointment. Her hands improved greatly with this treatment, and she was pleased with the results.
