Abstract: 【Abstract】 Endogenous hyperkeratotic hand eczema, as a chronic inflammatory disease, is difficult to be cured, and to be controlled by traditional therapies. In this article, dupilumab was used in 5 patients with endogenous hyperkeratotic hand (foot) eczema, who exhibited poor response to traditional therapies. The results showed that dupilumab could rapidly improve skin lesions and relieve itching, with high safety and marked efficacy.
