One year old baby's hands peeling

Babies need to absorb nutrients through food from birth. If the food is nutritionally balanced, there will be no problems with the body. If the baby is picky about food, malnutrition may occur. Some one-year-old babies have peeling hands. What should we do if a one-and-a-half-year-old baby's fingers peel? Parents should not blindly treat their babies when they see their hands peeling. They should understand the cause and then choose a treatment method.

1. What to do if your baby's hands and feet peel

1. Some parents think that their children’s hands are peeling because they don’t eat enough fruit and are lacking in vitamins. In fact, there are many reasons for children's peeling hands. Parents should never blindly give their children vitamin supplements when they see their children's hands peeling.

2. Exfoliative peeling

In late summer and early fall, many children's hands begin to peel. Generally, the surface layer of skin falls off, with no other symptoms. This is caused by the loss of water in the human body. Avoid using strongly alkaline soaps to wash your hands, and it will get better on its own over time.

3. Contact peeling

This peeling is caused by children coming into contact with rough or irritating objects. Children's hands are tender and their epidermis is easily damaged.

4. Dry peeling

This is caused by sweating, usually with red blisters that appear and itch, and may also occur on the feet. Children generally have more water in their bodies. This situation will occur if they are overdressed or protected too tightly.

This usually appears around the nails, which is what we commonly call hangnails. This is caused by the lack of water and vitamins in the child's body, so you should give your child more fruits.

2. Different reasons for children's hands and feet peeling

Reason 1: Lack of vitamins

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, the peeling phenomenon caused by vitamin deficiency is relatively not too obvious, it is only small and mild.

Countermeasures: If the baby is diagnosed with vitamin deficiency after examination, parents should pay attention to the nutritional balance of the child's diet and give him appropriate vitamin supplements. For example, you can take some vitamin lozenges or eat foods containing vitamins. Your baby's skin may be peeling because he is lacking in vitamin A or vitamin B. Do not let your baby develop a habit of partial or picky eating. He can eat more whole grains or foods such as animal liver.

Normally, when the baby's skin is peeling, mothers will only think that the baby should drink more water and apply some skin care products, but in fact, balanced nutrition is equally important for baby skin care. If the baby's body lacks certain vitamins, it may also manifest on the skin, causing dryness, peeling and other phenomena, so parents must learn to distinguish and solve the problem in time after the baby shows symptoms.

Reason 2: Tinea pedis

If the baby's peeling skin is 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.

Countermeasures: 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.
