Prevalence and incidence of hand eczema in adolescence: report from BAMSE--a population-based birth cohort.

摘要

At the age of 16 years, the 1-year prevalence of hand eczema was substantial, with an incidence rate of the same magnitude as in adults. Female predominance was seen in adolescence. It is preferable that the occurrence of hand eczema is reported by adolescents themselves, as they are the ones most aware of their symptoms.
