What is the reason for severe foot peeling

Many people have the problem of peeling feet. Of course, some people's feet peeling is not particularly serious, it is just mild peeling. Mild peeling is most likely caused by people not paying attention to the care of their foot skin in their daily lives. As long as they pay more attention to the care of the foot skin in the future, it will be fine. But sometimes people may find that the peeling of their feet is very serious. What is the reason for severe peeling of feet?

1 What causes peeling of feet?

1. Dry skin causes peeling of the soles of the feet

People with dry skin are prone to peeling of their hands and feet. The main reason is that dry feet lead to insufficient oxygen or water supply to the epidermal cells of the feet, causing necrosis of the epidermal cells of the feet. The main high incidence seasons are autumn and winter. Friends of this type need to drink more water and eat more vegetables, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.

2. Lack of vitamin E in the body causes peeling of the soles of the feet

People who lack vitamin E are prone to peeling of the soles of their feet. The main reason is that some trace vitamins needed by the human body are lacking, which causes the skin to necrotize and peel easily. It is recommended that this type of friends eat more vegetables and fruits, and also take some vitamin E appropriately.

2 Pay attention to hygiene and avoid scratching with your hands. Keeping your feet dry is the fundamental way to prevent tinea pedis. You can apply Daktarin ointment topically for treatment.

Causes of peeling feet: Exfoliative keratolysis not only causes peeling of the soles of the feet, but in severe cases it can also cause pain in the soles of the feet and difficulty walking. Exfoliative keratolysis is a superficial exfoliative skin disease of the stratum corneum of the palms and soles. The cause is unknown. The skin lesions are initially white spots the size of millet, which gradually expand to the surrounding areas, similar to blister membranes with dried blister fluid. They can easily rupture naturally or be torn into thin paper-like scales. There are no obvious inflammatory changes and no itching. They occur symmetrically on the palms, and a few cases involve the soles of the feet. This disease often occurs in spring and summer or at the turn of autumn and winter. Always keep your feet clean and dry, and change and wash your shoes and socks frequently.

3 Peeling of feet may be caused by athlete's foot, which is a common but difficult to treat stubborn and recurring skin disease. Tinea pedis is more likely to worsen in the summer. The main clinical manifestations of tinea pedis are: skin lesions spread from one side to the other side, mostly affecting both feet.

It often occurs between the toes, on the palms, on the soles of the feet and on the sides of the feet. The skin lesions initially appear as deep blisters the size of a needle tip with clear blister fluid, thick and shiny walls, and are not easy to rupture. The blisters are scattered or clustered and may fuse into multi-chambered bullae. Removing the blister walls reveals a honeycomb base and bright red eroded surface. The blisters dry up after a few days, showing collar-like desquamation. The skin lesions can continue to spread to the surrounding areas, and desquamation is the main symptom when the condition is stable. Itching is obvious. Wear breathable shoes and socks to keep your feet dry; avoid acidic and alkaline substances that damage the skin of your hands in daily life
