Filter by:During the COVID-19 pandemic after reopening of the country, school, kindergarten and daycare, children have been obligated to do frequent handwash. The study group wished to investigate whether this has had implications on symptoms of dry, red, itchy or sore hands and hand eczema. The investigation was performed within the first and second week after reopening by questionnaires distributed to parents electronically via schools, kindergartens and daycare facilities electronic platforms.
This is a double-blind, pilot study with 20 subjects to determine the tolerability and efficacy of topical AFX 5931 in the treatment of mild to moderate hand dermatitis. Subjects are screened up to 30 days before the baseline visit. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria may qualify for the study. Subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either the active or vehicle medication. 15 subjects will receive the active, therapeutic product and 5 subjects will receive the inactive, vehicle product.
Hand dermatitis, (a rash, or eczema, on the hands) is a common skin condition that affects approximately 10% of the population. It can be caused by a wide variety of things, such as allergens or irritants. For some, it can be painful and disfiguring. In moderate to severe cases, hand dermatitis can interfere greatly in the quality of life of the affected person, interfering with work and social functions. This can have a negative psychological effect as well. FiteBac Skin Care Gel is a new over-the-counter hand sanitizer that has been used for hospital and dental hand infection control. This product contains a germicide, to prevent infection. It also contains a silicone polymer. This makes the hand gel more durable, causing it to remain on the skin longer. Despite this durability, the hand gel still allows the skin to naturally perspire (sweat). As people in the health-care industry have used this new product with the goal of reducing hand infections, it has been noted that FiteBac Skin Care Gel also seems to have reduced hand dermatitis and improved personal skin condition. The purpose of this study is to scientifically measure skin improvement in a population of study subjects with hand dermatitis.
