Some tips to accelerate the healing and to avoid the recurrence of hand dermatitis: Hands washing: Use temperate water and soap without perfume, tar or sulfur. Employ just a little quantity of soap, clarifying thoroughly the hands under the water. Hands should be dried with a clean towel, without forgetting the interdigital folds (spaces between fingers). Avoid as much as possible contact with detergents and other strong cleansers.
