Chronic elevated red skin (patches)

Prevalence in general population (GP): very common [~11% | 1:1 | weight: 1,00]


Most likely diagnostic options for elevated red skin / elevated red patches (ranked by 'weight' for the general population):

- ASSOCIATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS:

• hand eczema (dermatytis) [~100% | 1:10 | weight: 0,90]
psoriasis [20% | 1:40 | weight: 0,045]
• allergy [?% | 1:? | weight: ?]
• other [rare hand conditions, e.g.: ringworm, scabies]



- ASSOCIATED PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:

anxiety disorder (+ high anxiety, N+ facet) [~35% | 1:9 | weight: 0,35]
depressive disorder (+ high depression, N+ facet) [~20% | 1:15 | weight: 0,12]
high hostility, N+ facet [?% | 1:4 | weight: ?]
high Neuroticism (= N+) [~?% | 1:8 | weight: ?]


[1st figure = prevalence hand sign in condition | 2nd
figure = prevalence condition in GP | 3rd figure =
estimated hand sign weight for condition relative
to GP (>0,5 = present in majority of GP cases)]

Quick summary:
a very large majority (~90%) of hands featured
with elevated red skin involves eczema.

[For every 100 red skin cases in the general population (GP) you can expect to find about 90 eczema cases,
40 anxiety disorder cases, etc.]


Red skin: eczema vs. psoriasis.

NOTICE: Keep in mind that every single hand sign always bares the potential
to have an association with multiple psychology- and/or health related themes;
a solid assessment always requires a consideration of hand sign combinations!
