Why is the baby's hand shedding?

The baby's skin is very tender, whether it is the skin on the face, hands and feet. Even adults cannot touch the skin of newborns, otherwise it will turn red. The same is true for children. Many babies' hands are prone to peeling, which makes their families very worried, fearing that they have contracted some infectious disease. In fact, peeling of baby's hands is a common symptom in children, mainly caused by dry skin, so there is no need to panic.

Not only children's hands will peel, but many adults' hands also have this symptom, and even taking a lot of vitamins does not see any improvement. Why is this? Is it because the peeling occurs as the child grows up? Or is it because of the lack of trace elements needed by the body? Let's take a look together.

Some people's hands and feet start to peel in the winter, and they start to itch, develop blisters, and peel. The peeling area increases year by year and extends deeper into the layers, eventually revealing fresh flesh. Peeling of hands and feet caused by nutritional deficiencies is generally related to a lack of vitamin A. 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.

To prevent peeling of hands and feet in winter, keep your skin clean and avoid getting it in water as much as possible. Even when washing your hands, it is best to use hot water. 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. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, so care should be taken when cooking with oils. It should be noted that you should apply hand cream after washing your hands every day. You can also rub vitamin E on your hands and massage while applying.

From the above content, we can clearly see that the peeling of baby's hands does not need to cause panic among parents. Most of the time, it is caused by the dryness in winter and the lack of vitamin A. The same is true for adults. Therefore, the editor reminds everyone to pay attention to skin health, because skin is also a "barometer" of health and will reveal important information about physical health.
