What causes newborn baby's feet to peel?

Many newborn babies will experience shedding of the skin on their feet soon after birth. Of course, there are also some babies who experience such symptoms on their hands and faces. This happens more frequently in the autumn and winter seasons! In this regard, it may be determined that it is caused by dry weather, but if it happens in addition to this and happens frequently, you should worry whether the child is lacking vitamins or has a skin disease! It is best for parents to go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment!

If your baby's hands and feet have slight peeling, it may be caused by an unbalanced diet or lack of vitamins. For example, vitamin A protects the surface layer of the skin. A deficiency can cause dryness and peeling of the skin. However, peeling caused by vitamin deficiency is relatively not obvious, it is only small and mild.

If the baby is diagnosed with vitamin deficiency, parents should pay attention to the nutritional balance of the child's diet and provide appropriate vitamin supplements. You can take vitamin lozenges or eat foods that contain vitamins. Your baby's skin peeling may be caused by a lack of vitamin A or vitamin B. Do not let your baby be partial or picky about food. He can eat more whole grains or animal liver and other foods.

If the baby's peeling areas are only on the hands and feet, parents should first consider the possibility of tinea pedis. Generally speaking, if it is tinea pedis, symptoms such as blisters and peeling will appear, and these symptoms will recur and even erosion may occur.

If you suspect tinea pedis, it is best to take your child to the hospital for treatment. Doctors generally use a combination of oral and topical medications as a treatment method. In daily life, special attention should be paid to keeping children's shoes dry. At the same time, we should be diligent in helping children change shoes to ensure that their shoes are clean and hygienic.
