What is causing the peeling of the skin on children’s fingertips?

Peeling is also known as skin cracking in the folks, which means that the skin shows abnormal peeling. If you tear it off with your hands at this time, you may tear off a large piece of dead skin. Sometimes, the skin may bleed due to excessive force. In life, some children's fingertips are always prone to peeling, especially when the weather is hot, so what is the reason for the peeling of children's fingertips?

Children's hands can peel at any age. It is more common between six months and five years old. Most of the time, the skin on one or more of the front ends of the fingers peels, and in severe cases, it becomes cracked.

Peeling of fingers is mostly seen in autumn or winter, which is related to the poor resistance of children; most of these children have picky eating habits;

Peeling of children's fingers is mostly related to their contact with external irritants, such as carpets at home, sand outside, etc. Some people will diagnose this as eczema.

Generally speaking, this type of disease does not require examination; some people believe that fungi need to be examined, but the results show that some people are positive for fungi and some are negative for fungi. However, except for older patients over 5 years old or those with more serious conditions, antifungal drugs are not recommended in principle;

Proper vitamin supplementation can prevent hand peeling, such as eating more vegetables and fruits;

Choosing the right hand cream is good for children; it is generally sold in supermarkets, and the cheaper the better;

Do not apply eczema cream sold in drugstores; most eczema creams now contain hormones, which will affect the growth and recovery of the skin;

Some parents believe that peeling must be caused by a lack of certain vitamins, so they want to solve the peeling problem by supplementing vitamins. Director Yang Jian also believes that abnormal skin keratinization is related to vitamin A deficiency, but vitamin supplementation is only an auxiliary means of treatment. Some supplements can be taken during treatment, but it is unlikely to be cured entirely by vitamin supplementation, especially when the child's peeling is a manifestation of skin disease. To supplement vitamin A, you can eat more chicken, mutton, beef, pork liver, egg yolks, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, etc.
