What is the cause of baby's peeling hands?

A baby's skin is particularly delicate and tender. When taking care of a baby, you must be extra careful in everything you do so as not to hurt the baby's delicate skin. Sometimes some mothers will find that their baby's hands are peeling. When the baby has this phenomenon, the mother does not need to be too nervous.

What is the cause of baby's peeling hands?

1. Vitamin A

One of the reasons for peeling hands is 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. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, chicken liver, milk, fish, egg yolks, etc., which can protect the surface of the skin.

2. Vitamin B

If the human body lacks vitamin B, it will cause peeling, itching, and in severe cases, dermatitis. In order to avoid the symptoms of peeling hands, it is recommended to take vitamin B tablets or 21 Gold Vitamin, etc., which have a good repair effect.

3. Vitamin C

Generally, picky eaters tend to lack vitamin C, which manifests itself in poor appetite and unbalanced nutrients, leading to abnormal symptoms such as skin peeling. In daily life, if you want to improve the symptoms of peeling hands, you can apply vitamin C injection to the affected area twice a day, for a course of three days. When you have a poor appetite, you can drink vitamin C effervescent tablets, which are easier to drink and are very popular among young people.

4. Vitamin E

Peeling of hands is largely caused by a lack of vitamin E in the body. Try to eat more foods high in vitamin E. For example, pears. Apply hand cream after washing your hands every day or before going to bed. You can also rub vitamin E pills on your hands and massage while applying, which will help your hands absorb better.
