ABSTRACT Background The epidemiology of chronic hand eczema (CHE) remains poorly examined. Objective To investigate the prevalence CHE in a general adult population and describe characteristics affected individuals. Methods We investigated using random sample from Danish (The Skin Cohort). was defined as on hands or wrists during minimum three consecutive months reoccurrence at least twice within 12 months. Results Out 11 166 adults, 1306 experienced (HE) some point their lifetime. Within last months, 408 (3.7%) HE, which 332 (81.4%) reported CHE. crude 1‐year period 3.0% (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.7%–3.3%) while standardised 3.5% CI, 3.3%–3.6%). Among adults with CHE, 70.8% were female, mean age 48.0 years (standard deviation 16.6 years). Most individuals had two relapses ( n = 309, 93.1%), 206, 61.1%, HE for more than 3 Compared to likely diagnosed by dermatologist affect fingers back hand. Conclusion 3.3%–3.6%) 4.2% 4.0%–4.4%) respectively. identified large overlap between population, indicating that many may experience course.
