Itchy nail edges

Itching on the edges of nails is not so rare, which is related to the fact that you don’t pay attention to skin care in your daily life. So if it happens, you should pay more attention to regularly applying some non-irritating hand creams to improve your skin. You can also take some topical medications appropriately. In this way, the effect will be relatively more significant.

For the blister-scaly type, you can use miconazole cream, clotrimazole cream, compound benzoic acid ointment, compound levofloxacin ointment, etc. The thickened keratosis type can be treated with compound benzoic acid ointment, miconazole cream or soaked in 10% glacial acetic acid. For those with chapped skin, urea fat can be added. The medication should be continued for at least 2 weeks after the skin lesions subside. The frequency of applying medication to hands should be appropriately increased, especially applying ointment or cream after washing hands. Patients with a long course of illness or poor response to local treatment can take griseofulvin, ketoconazole, etc. orally. Or take fluconazole 50% mg/day or 150 mg/week once for 2-4 weeks. Itraconazole 200 mg/day was taken once a day for one week. Take 250 mg of Lamisil per day for 2 weeks.

Eczema often occurs on the palms and is symmetrical on both hands. The skin lesions are polymorphic, with papules, blisters, erosions, exudates and crusts coexisting, often with two to three of them being predominant. Changes in the disease are closely related to the seasons, and are also related to diet and rest. Exposure of the palms to irritants such as water and soap will aggravate the damage. Fungal examination was negative.

The occurrence of dyshidrotic eczema has obvious seasonality, mostly occurring at the turn of spring and summer and healing on its own in winter. It mainly occurs in young people. The skin lesions are also symmetrically distributed, mainly in the form of blisters, which occur in batches and can be seen on the palms, sides and fingertips. After the blisters dry up, they peel off to reveal new skin, often accompanied by varying degrees of itching and burning sensation. The occurrence of this disease is related to poor sweating or allergic reaction, and fungal examination at the lesion is negative.

Contact dermatitis is caused by contact with allergenic substances. It is an allergic reaction of the skin with a clear history of contact. Skin lesions occur at the contact site, with clear boundaries and relatively consistent morphology, mostly characterized by erythema and edema. In severe cases, blisters and bullae may be seen. The symptoms will gradually subside and eventually heal after the contact is severed. Local fungal examination was negative.
