What to do if your fingers crack and become hardened

Cracked and hardened fingers now often occur in autumn and winter, mostly due to dry weather. It can also be caused by metabolic disorders or skin diseases such as eczema. Some serious cases may even cause bleeding and pain, which has a great impact on hand function. When solving the problem, we must base it on our own reasons and treat the disease to achieve the best effect. So, what should you do if your fingers crack and become calloused? Let’s take a look below.

prevention

1. It is advisable to eat more oil in dry and cold seasons.

2. Patients with a long course of illness or the elderly should increase their nutrition and eat more foods such as pork liver, pig skin, mutton, donkey-hide gelatin, and cod liver oil pills.

3. Because the winter climate is cold and dry, people sweat less, and the skin is prone to cracking and wrinkling. Therefore, special attention should be paid to keeping hands warm. Soak and wash hands frequently with warm water, and apply some special skin care cream for cracked hands: Qi'antang Hand Crack Cream, to avoid frostbite and aggravate the cracking.

4. In daily life, you should also pay attention to dietary diversification, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, consume a moderate amount of protein-rich foods, and maintain skin moisture and elasticity, so as to prevent the occurrence of cracked hands.

Directly apply Qi'antang Cracked Hand Ointment to target the cause of cracked hands and relieve them.

For cracked hands, we must first determine whether they are infected with fungi. Traditional methods are ineffective for tinea manuum. You can apply medicines that have the dual functions of skin repair and antifungal, such as Shouqishuang. For non-fungal cracked hands, the skin repair product Liejing is preferred.

How to prevent and treat dry hands and feet in autumn and winter

As soon as autumn and winter come, some people are prone to cracks on the heels and sides of the feet (also called fissures). The skin around the cracks becomes dry, rough, thickened, and hardened. When the cracks are deep, they may even bleed. When walking, the heels touching the ground are extremely painful and very inconvenient. A few years ago, when my heels were severely cracked, I often suffered from it and was at a loss as to how to deal with it. Later, I remembered that "Band-Aid" hemostatic plaster has the function of stopping bleeding and protecting wounds. I decided to give it a try. I first washed and dried my feet with warm water, and then applied the "Band-Aid" hemostatic plaster to the cracks. After a few days, it really worked. The cracks and pain gradually disappeared, and then I returned to normal. When chapped skin occurs again, continue to treat it with this method. For several years, Bai Jue has used this method to treat chapped feet with good results. It's worth a try. Zhang Haoxi

During the autumn and winter months, due to the cold and dry weather, my hands and feet would crack and become painful, mostly on the back of the heels and on the edges of the nails on both sides of the thumbs. My treatment method is to tighten and tape the crack at night, and it will be healed the next day. The effect is very effective. Mi Taiyue

In autumn and winter, many middle-aged and elderly people suffer from dry and cracked skin on their hands and feet, which is very uncomfortable. I have tried many methods of treatment, but the results were not ideal. This winter, I tried using a "facial cleanser" to wash my hands and feet based on its moisturizing principle, and received unexpected results. The method is to wipe my feet with a little facial cleanser and rub them gently with my hands before putting on socks every morning. After they are slightly dry, put on shoes and socks. Wash your feet with warm water before going to bed at night. If you persist in doing this every day, you will definitely get significant results. Liu Kongxia

A magazine introduced: Shefik Bass, 53 years old, from Ohio, USA, has used his forehead sweat to treat people who asked him to treat thick calluses on their hands and feet every summer for more than 20 years. He has cured more than 20 people with his forehead sweat. In the past few years, my heels have been cracked and painful every winter, and I have to use tape to temporarily prevent the cracks. Last summer, I decided to give it a try. I used my forehead sweat to wipe my heels twenty or thirty times. The degree of dryness and cracking was greatly reduced last winter. This summer, I used my forehead sweat to wipe the prone to dryness and cracking areas thirty or forty times again, and no cracks have appeared so far. It seems that they have been basically healed.

Since the beginning of autumn, I have often had cracks on my hands. No matter how much hand cream I used, it didn't work. Later I tried toothpaste, and unexpectedly, after only one application, the cracks stopped hurting. It might be worth a try. Zhang Yue

The cold and dry climate in autumn and winter is one of the causes of dry and cracked hands and feet. At the same time, the relatively reduced intake of fresh vegetables and fruits in winter is also an important reason. I have a method to recommend to friends who have cracked hands and feet - drink a glass of fruit juice every day. My father used to have dry, cracked, and flaking hands and feet, which was very painful. Later, he drank a glass of juice every day. After persisting for a period of time, he found that the dryness and cracking of his hands and feet had improved significantly, and the peeling had stopped. Now he drinks a glass of fruit juice every day and no longer suffers from dry hands and feet. Gao Tong

Cut a used 8 cm clean plastic bag (such as a milk bag) diagonally and take out the bottom half (a triangular pocket). After washing your feet at night or the next morning, put the plastic bag on your heels and put on socks. At the end of the day, your heels will be moist and not dry at all. You can put it on for one day every 2 to 3 days (depending on the degree of dryness). The effect is excellent. Xiao Genling,
