What should I do if children’s fingertips peel?

The main function of human skin is to help us resist external bacteria and dust, and also help us defend against some diseases. However, for children, the skin resistance is not very high, so sometimes some skin diseases can easily come to them. Every summer, parents find that their children's fingertips are always peeling, and it's not just one finger, but almost all fingers are like this. So, what should we do if children’s fingertips peel?

Some children's hands and feet are prone to peeling when the weather gets warmer in May and June. It starts with itching, then small blisters appear, and then peeling. The peeling area increases year by year and extends into deeper layers, even revealing fresh flesh. The parents were heartbroken watching this. At first I thought it was dryness, but it didn't get better after applying hand cream.

The symptoms of peeling hands in children usually occur in late spring and summer when the temperature is high and the humidity is high, and peeling will occur on the palms of the hands. This is because the stratum corneum of the epidermis separates from the underlying epidermis. When peeling, let the skin fall off naturally and don't pick at it. After peeling occurs, try to reduce contact with alkaline substances, as alkaline substances can cause peeling or aggravate the peeling phenomenon. Whenever possible, choose a soap or hand sanitizer with less alkalinity.

If your hands sweat a lot and peel, you can apply silicone cream or cod liver oil ointment to protect the new epidermis. The reason why children's hands peel off may also be caused by nutritional deficiencies. It is generally related to vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that protects the surface of the skin. If it is deficient, it will cause dryness and peeling of the skin. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as animal liver, egg yolk, milk, cheese, fish, shellfish, carrots, etc. The carotene in these foods can be converted into vitamin A in the body, so you might as well eat more of them. How to prevent children's hands from peeling To prevent hands from peeling, keep hands clean and avoid getting them in water as much as possible. It should be noted that you should apply hand cream after washing your hands every day. You can also rub vitamin E pills on your hands and massage while rubbing.
