What is the reason for the long thorns on the baby's hands?

Children's skin is very delicate, so it is not easy to get frostbite on their hands in winter. However, just because your baby doesn't get frostbite on his hands doesn't mean he won't get hangnails on his hands. Many babies have hangnails on their hands. Hangnails are caused by dry skin, but hangnails on babies' hands are not necessarily caused by dryness. They may also be caused by other reasons. Therefore, it is best to cut off the hangnails.

There are three possible reasons why your baby may have hangnails on his hands:

1. Playful and active. The little ones are becoming more and more lively and active. They often grab toys with their hands, chew their nails, or rub their hands against other objects too much, causing hangnails to grow on their delicate skin.

2. Dry skin. Improper care will cause the baby's hands to have dry skin, and the skin under the nails will not be moisturized by oil, making it easy for hangnails to grow.

3. Nutritional deficiency. If your baby's daily diet lacks vitamin C or other trace elements, it may also show up through the skin.

After finding the cause of hangnails, parents can take targeted skin care measures in daily life to get rid of the annoying hangnails!

1. Nail care. Cut your baby's nails regularly to keep them clean, and educate your baby to let him know that biting nails is wrong.

2. Nutritional supplements. Let your baby drink more water and eat more fruits, and apply non-irritating, oil-containing skin cream to his hands every day, such as lanolin, vitamin E cream, etc.; if the baby is lacking in vitamins or trace elements, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the dermatology department of the hospital for examination for correct treatment.

When adults find hangnails on their baby's hands, they may consider whether they are caused by accidental friction while the child is playing. Generally speaking, if you have hangnails, it is best to cut them off with nail clippers in time so that you won’t feel pain when you accidentally touch them. You should also pay attention to hand care at ordinary times and apply some hand cream on your child.
