What is the reason for peeling hands

In our lives, some friends always have peeling hands when the seasons change, and many people also experience itching symptoms when their hands peel. However, because the peeling will heal itself after a period of time, many patients do not pay much attention to it. At most, they will apply some ointment when itching occurs. This is not a way to completely solve the problem of peeling hands.

If you want to solve the problem of peeling hands, you must know the reason why your hands are peeling. If it is caused by contact with irritating substances, you just need to try to avoid contact as much as possible. If it is caused by fungal infection, you need some treatment. The specific causes of peeling hands are:

Normal peeling

Many normal people experience hand peeling in the second half of the year, more often in early autumn, especially after contact with soap or laundry detergent. Peeling usually starts from the fingers and slowly extends to the entire palm. Sometimes only the fingers peel, and after peeling off the surface layer of skin, the hands return to their original state, without pain or itching, and without inflammation. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to make a fuss. In daily life, you should pay attention to avoiding contact with irritating chemicals such as soap and laundry detergent, and take vitamin C at the same time.

Dry weather causes peeling

Dry temperature is also one of the reasons for peeling hands. For example, in winter, the temperature is cold and dry. If you don’t take good care of your hands, they are prone to dehydration and dead skin. It is recommended to drink more boiled water in winter and use some hand cream to care for your hands.

Vitamin deficiency

Lack of vitamins is also one of the reasons for peeling hands. In daily life, people who like to eat meat and don’t like vegetables are more likely to have peeling hands. The main reason is the lack of vitamin B. Therefore, it is recommended to eat more vegetables in daily life.

Ringworm

The patient first experienced peeling on one hand, which then spread to both hands and feet. The peeling in this case is caused by tinea manuum. The main symptoms are erythema and itching on the palms. Because tinea manuum is highly contagious and harmful to health, it is recommended to receive timely treatment to prevent infection to loved ones.

Dyshidrosis

Dyshidrotic eczema is also one of the causes of hand peeling. Friends with dyshidrotic eczema usually have red blisters on their hands and feel severe itching.

Now that we know the reasons for peeling hands, we hope that everyone can pay attention to keeping their hands clean on a regular basis and try to avoid contact with irritating substances. If the peeling of hands is caused by genetic factors, although there is no good way to treat it, you can do the above two things to alleviate the symptoms.
