What to do if your fingers have peeling eczema

So what should you do when eczema and peeling of fingers occur? Most people don’t know much about this. In fact, the following methods should be used to treat finger eczema peeling.

Rinse your hands thoroughly, paying special attention to any dirt or detergent that may be trapped between your fingers.

2. Use gloves regularly

The best way to reduce the chance of irritation to your hands is to make a habit of wearing gloves when doing things. When doing housework that involves water, wear two layers of gloves: an inner layer of sweat-absorbent cotton gloves and an outer layer of waterproof plastic gloves. It is advisable to prepare several pairs of gloves. Cotton gloves should be replaced when they are soaked with sweat, and plastic gloves should be replaced immediately when they are torn. Do not wear only plastic gloves, because hands soaked with sweat and dirt are more vulnerable to invasion of allergens or irritants, which may cause eczema to worsen. Even if you wear two pairs of gloves, you should temporarily take off the gloves to let your hands breathe every half an hour to an hour of work. When doing housework that does not involve water, it is best to wear cotton gloves to prevent your hands from getting dirty and irritating your skin due to the need to wash hands.

3. Minimize friction

When the skin is dry, friction can easily break the skin and aggravate the changes of eczema, so avoid wringing clothes and towels. Touching newspapers or chalk will also absorb the oil and moisture from the skin. Dry paper will also cut the skin, which will cause eczema to worsen. It is best to avoid this or wear cotton gloves. Don't wear rings when cleaning. Wearing rings while doing housework may cause local accumulation of irritants or detergents, aggravating friction and irritation of the skin, and may also cause nickel allergies.
