	~~== Overview ==~~
	'''Dermatitis repens''', also known as '''acrodynia''' or '''acrodynic eczema''', is a rare and chronic skin condition characterized by the progressive peeling and shedding of the skin, primarily affecting the hands and feet. This condition is often associated with [[autoimmune disorders]] and can be triggered by various factors, including [[allergens]], [[infections]], and [[stress]].

	== Clinical Presentation ==		== Clinical Presentation ==
	The hallmark of dermatitis repens is the appearance of erythematous, scaly patches that gradually evolve into areas of peeling skin. Patients may experience intense [[pruritus]] (itching), [[erythema]] (redness), and [[edema]] (swelling) in the affected regions. The condition can lead to significant discomfort and may interfere with daily activities due to the sensitivity and pain associated with the lesions.
