10 month old baby's fingers peeling

If a 10-month-old baby has peeling fingers, it is not a normal phenomenon. Normally, the baby's skin is relatively delicate and smooth, and basically the skin will not be dry. If peeling fingers occur, it is mostly caused by pathological reasons. In this case, they should be taken for a systemic examination in time, so that the cause of the disease can be determined through the examination results.

It usually begins in late spring and early summer, worsens in summer and heals itself in winter. It often coexists with excessive sweating of the hands and feet, and recurs regularly every year. It often occurs on the palms, fingertips, and sides of fingers, rarely on the backs of hands and soles, and often occurs symmetrically.

Typical skin lesions are small blisters located deep in the epidermis, the size of rice grains, hemispherical, slightly higher than the skin surface, with no inflammatory response, scattered or clustered on the palms, sides and fingertips, rarely on the back of the hands and soles of the feet, and often distributed symmetrically. The blisters contain clear serous fluid and generally do not rupture on their own. After drying, they peel off and reveal the red new epithelium, which is thin and tender and often painful. The surrounding skin was normal. This disease has varying degrees of itching and burning sensation.

1. Oral medication

Short-term oral administration of prednisone is more effective, and sedatives can be appropriately used for those who are mentally nervous.

2. Topical medication

In the early stage, the main treatment is drying and relieving itching. You can apply 1% phenol calamine lotion externally. When peeling begins, you can use glucocorticoid cream or ointment. For those with repeated local peeling, dryness and pain, you can apply 2% to 5% salicylic acid ointment, allantoin ointment, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine

Oral medication should be used to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and the prescription can be Jianpi Chushi Decoction or Chushi Pills. Use Cangfu water or Gankudzu water for external washing.

The vesicular scaly type usually starts as a single case, starting in a certain part of the palm, especially the palm, the palm surface, sides and roots of the index and ring fingers. It starts as needle-sized blisters with thick and shiny walls and clear fluid. The blisters gather in groups or are scattered, and the patient feels itchy. After the blisters dry, they desquamate and gradually spread to the surrounding areas to form ring-shaped or multi-ring-shaped lesions with clear edges and a chronic course that lasts for many years until the entire palm is affected and spreads to the back of the hand and nails, and even the opposite palm. Sometimes blisters can become infected and form pustules.

The thickened keratosis type often develops from the blister-scaly type. Patients have a history of many years of disease, often involving both hands. The skin lesions have no obvious blisters or annular desquamation, but diffuse redness and thickening on the palm surface, deepened skin lines, rough skin, dryness and desquamation. It is prone to cracking in winter, with deep cracks and bleeding, unbearable pain, and affects activities. In addition to dermatophytes, the factors that promote the thickening of keratosis on the palms are also related to long-term scratching, washing, soaps, detergents, stimulation from various chemicals and solvents, and inappropriate treatment.
