Why do hands peel off

There are many different causes of peeling fingers. It may be caused by frequent contact with irritating chemicals, or it may be due to skin dehydration caused by dry weather. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to skin hydration in the dry season. When the palms of our hands begin to peel, we should pay attention to skin hygiene and supplement with vitamin A.

What causes peeling hands?

Frequent exposure to irritating chemicals

Many people experience peeling of their hands, which is more common in early autumn, especially after contact with products containing irritating chemicals, such as soap, laundry detergent, etc. The skin always peels for no reason, usually starting from the fingers and slowly extending to the palms. It usually heals on its own after a period of time without any pain or itching.

In fact, this phenomenon is normal and there is no need to make a fuss about it. In daily life, as long as you pay attention to minimizing contact with irritating chemicals such as soap and laundry detergent, and at the same time supplement with more foods containing vitamin C, you can alleviate this phenomenon.

Vitamin deficiency

When our bodies lack vitamins, our hands may easily peel. Especially when there is a lack of vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C, it may cause peeling of hands. Because if you are too picky about food, your body will not be able to absorb enough vitamins, which can easily lead to an imbalance of various nutrients, thus causing peeling of your hands.

Therefore, in daily life, we should develop the habit of not being picky about food, and pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables, especially foods rich in vitamin B and vitamin C, to ensure balanced nutrition in the body. In addition, you can also apply some vitamin C on the peeling areas, which will have a good effect on peeling and damaged skin.

Dry weather and lack of moisture

When the weather is particularly dry, if you do not pay attention to the care of your hands, it is easy to cause the skin on your hands to become dehydrated and form dead skin.

When this happens, you should drink more water and replenish water in time. In addition, you can also apply some hand cream on your hands to moisturize the skin and reduce the loss of moisture in the skin of your hands, thereby effectively alleviating the phenomenon of peeling hands.

Other causes

When you have skin allergies or suffer from tinea manuum, dyshidrotic eczema, etc., peeling will occur on your hands. At this time, you should go to the hospital in time for medical treatment and prescribe the right medicine. Especially hand tinea and other diseases are highly contagious. If you are not careful, they will endanger other parts of your body and be transmitted to others. You must pay enough attention to them.
