Do you often peel off your hands, is you sick or lack of nutrition?

In recent comments, many people are asking questions about "peeling on the hand".

Indeed, when the weather is cold or dry, many people have peeling and peeling on the edge of the nails or the entire palm, and even accompanied by symptoms such as itching and pain.

Let's talk about these symptoms today, what are the causes and how to deal with it?

Many people doubt which vitamins are missing from the lack of peeling?

Theoretically, it is indeed a bit related. Vitamin B is an indispensable raw material for our skin to maintain normal keratinization.

But don't rush to buy vitamin B, because if you just peel on your hands and the other skin on your body is normal, you don't need to consider this situation, and there is no need to supplement some vitamin. (If severe partial eclipse or unable to eat normally, it is another matter)

In fact, many people peel on the hands are "normal" physiological phenomena. The skin of the whole body is dry in winter, and the stratum corneum of the hands is particularly thick, which is easier to lack water, especially around the nails, and the performance is the most obvious.

For example, "long stab" is a symptom that shows early. When encountering such early warning signals, quickly apply hand cream.

There is also a special case. Children are often more common, that is -they are 啃.

Don't be surprised, there is indeed such a bad habit of changing it. It is usually related to the patient's anxiety or some emotional hints. The doctor needs to take a closer look at and investigate. More importantly, the care and guidance of the family are required.

In addition, many local or systemic diseases also appear or accompanied by the peeling of the hand.

Many diseases will cause the hand to peel (dandruff). Let ’s take a few examples below to facilitate the preliminary evaluation. However, it should be noted that theory is just theory after all. If you suspect that you are sick, you must go to the hospital for a doctor to diagnose.

1. Tinea -foot ringworm: Hand, foot, and tinea are a common shallow fungal infection.

A fungal is a microorganism of the same as bacteria. The harmful fungus provokes a person, and the surface of the skin will occur. The infection is called "ringworm" and the infection is infected.

Tinea -ainery will appear erythema, scales, blisters, etc. on the side edge of the fingers, palms, and back of the hand, and the area will gradually expand with the development of the disease.

Because the fungus is eaten with your epidermis, like a sheep, after eating this piece and eating that piece.

The fungal infection on the hand is often caused by the spread of ringworm or nail fungal disease. It rarely starts, and it is often a single palm.

Therefore, if you want to check the fungal infection, you can see if you are peeling with one hand, and then check if you have a ringworm or finger/toenail damage.

Of course, a more reliable method of judging is to go to the hospital for a fungal test.

2. Sweet herpes: This is a season -related disease [2].

Mainly occur in summer or summer, and some people will have a lot of hands in winter. The main manifestations are small blisters deep in the stratum corneum, which are symmetrically distributed. Because the stratum corneum of the palm is too thick, the blisters are not easy to break. Slowly absorb itself, and after drying, it forms peeling, exposing the bright and bright new epithelium.

Because it is too thin and tender, it often feels pain, but soon the new blisters will grow, and it will be repeated. The whole process will be accompanied by to varying degrees of itching and burning, but it is not as strong as the tinea.

Sweat herpes will heal itself if you are tired of playing by yourself, so if you confirm sweat herpes, the symptoms are not serious, and it is recommended to get along peacefully with it.

The treatment is mainly protective, itching or peeling can be used for external hormone ointment. The symptoms are severely added with salicylic acid preparations, or short -term oral hormones, which are very effective.

3. Excverse keratinol:

This problem will look serious. At the beginning of the onset, it is a bit like sweat herpes, but the range of the later expansion is gradually expanded. Large -scale thin paper -like scales and keratin are exfoliated, which is much more evil than the above two types of small beatings.

The reasons are also complicated. Some people are really unclear. Because it is easy to recur on the warm season, it often merges local sweats. Therefore, it is also called laminar -like sweating bad disease.

Although it can heal itself, recurrent seizures are very common. It can use some low -concentration keratin -exploiters or gentle moisturizing protective agents to restore normal keratin metabolism. When it is particularly serious, short -term hormone therapy is also necessary [3].

4. Perform sexual palm cortex:

The name sounds very mysterious, but it also has a particularly grounded nickname called "housewife hand". Although this is called this, it is really not limited to women, and many families will also recruit.

The main reason is the contacts of various detergents, laundry fluids and other substances that cannot be avoided during housework, stimulating the symptoms of the skin, typically occurred at the end of the fingers and the first half of the palm. The scales are accompanied by a shallow crack of broken glass -like. Long -term lesions can make the fingers look thinner, fragile, pain after dipping, and even limited movement.

In addition to the symptomatic treatment of external drugs such as urea cream, salicylic acid ointment, and polysulfonic acid adhesive cream, the best way is to protect and try to avoid contact with the cause, that is, do not do housework. This treatment principle is welcomed by patients.

5. Eczema/dermatitis: This is the most common type of disease in hand peeling.

Many patients will be accompanied by similar skin lesions in other parts of the body, manifested as symmetrical erythema and scales. The acute seizures are a bit similar to tinea -like, which may be more swollen and even exuded. Chronic recurrent seizures will have local skin hypertrophy. Infiltration and even moss, the palms will become thicker and hard. The biggest problem is that itching is unbearable, and the recurrence rate is too high, just like a dog skin plaster sticking to you.

As for the reason, it is difficult to be clear, and it varies from person to person. Some may be related to the season, and some may be related to local contact. You need to know your eyes in life.

Treatment methods will vary from person to person and vary depending on the condition.

6. Some systematic skin problems will also be accompanied by the peeling phenomenon of hand, such as medicine rash, psoriasis, etc., which require comprehensive consideration.

So the question comes, what is going to go to the hospital? Under what circumstances can it be treated for the time being?

Der dermatologists believe that if any problems, you need to come to the hospital to ask the doctor for a clear diagnosis. On this basis, the treatment principles and directions can be clarified.

Most hand -peeling problems may be a chronic process, so subsequent treatment can be treated as appropriate at home.

Of course, if the treatment effect is not satisfactory or accompanied by new symptoms, then you need to return to the consultation in time to let the experienced doctors judge you. Don't talk about yourself and delay your illness.

In addition, I also remind everyone not to believe too much about the so -called remedy and the "Spiritual Cricket" in the workshop. The method that has not been verified by evidence is unreliable. After all, the effective fruit is lucky. It may be a self -heal disease. No effect may have nothing to do with treatment.

As a doctor, the most worried thing is that inappropriate treatment may be worsened by the snow. We see a lot of this example. There is no one except sigh.
