abstract = {This report describes the treatment of a patient with subacute hand eczema. The patient presented with widespread eczema, especially severe on the palms, with thickened skin and intense pruritus. A combination therapy of fire-needle cluster shallow needling and cupping was administered once every two days, twice per week. After the first treatment, the patient reported significant relief of itching in the affected areas. After 12 treatments, the itching on the hands had resolved, the skin had become smooth, and the widespread eczema had also improved. At 3-month follow-up, the skin had returned to normal, with only temporary pigmentation.}
