Recognizing the Signs of Chronic Hand Eczema

On this episode of The Mark White Show, I’m talking with Jennifer Etienne, a patient advocate and National Eczema Association ambassador, and Dr. Omar Noor, a board-certified dermatologist and co-owner of Rao Dermatology in New York and New Jersey. Together they discuss chronic hand eczema, a condition that may affect nearly one in ten adults in the United States but is often mistaken for simple dry skin.

Jennifer shares her personal journey living with chronic hand eczema and how the condition impacted her daily life. Dr. Noor explains the warning signs people should watch for, common triggers that can worsen symptoms, and why many cases go undiagnosed. They also discuss when someone should consider seeking medical care and where listeners can learn more about treatment and support.

This conversation shines a light on a condition that many people may be living with without realizing it.
