How to treat itchy fingers in children

Skin diseases present various symptoms, the most common of which is unbearable itching, redness and swelling of the skin. Adults and children cannot escape this because children are too young and have low immune systems, so they are more likely to suffer from such problems. When children suffer from tinea manuum, they will feel itchy. So how should it be treated correctly? Here are some good treatment methods.

1. For the blister-scaly type, you can use miconazole cream, clotrimazole cream, compound benzoic acid ointment, compound resorcinol ointment, etc. The thickened keratosis type can be treated with compound benzoic acid ointment, miconazole cream or soaking in 10% glacial acetic acid. For those with chapped skin, urea fat can be added. Continue to apply the medicine for more than 2 weeks after the skin lesions subside.

2. Because hands are washed frequently, the frequency of topical medication should be increased, especially applying ointment or cream after washing hands.

3. For patients with a long course of disease or poor local treatment effect, oral griseofulvin, ketoconazole or fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine and other drugs can be added for treatment.

4. Onychomycosis and tinea manuum are mutually infective and should be treated simultaneously, including tinea in other parts of the body.

The above are several methods for treating itchy fingers caused by tinea manuum. If it is not clear what disease the child has, it is necessary to find out the cause before treatment to prevent the wrong treatment method from worsening the condition. In addition, when treating the child, be careful not to let the child come into contact with too hot or too cold water, and pay more attention to the diet, focusing on light and easy to digest food.
