Causes of Peeling

The immediate cause of peeling of the skin of the fingers is too rapid rejection of the upper layer of the epidermis. With this problem, the skin simply does not have time to recover. The reason for this may be one of three main reasons - let's look at them in more detail.

Care Issues:

• It is worth paying attention to the hygiene products that you use every day. Some varieties of soap can cause a reaction in the form of peeling. You can not always use antibacterial soap - it is only necessary when there is a need to wash off strong contaminants (such soap aggressively affects the skin's PH, aging it, overdrying too much). The best choice for restoring overdried skin will be some tool containing natural oils.

Important! For sensitive and very delicate skin, it is better to use not a terry towel, but from a more delicate cotton.

• In some cases, even wearing seasonal gloves can cause peeling. If the reason lies precisely in this, then one can easily trace that the problem appears with the onset of a cold pore and take appropriate measures.
• If you wash clothes manually using powder, then aggressive chemicals can also cause peeling, especially if the skin is naturally sensitive.
• If you are doing repairs or your work involves regular contact with cement, concrete and other coarse surfaces and heavy solutions, then there is nothing to be surprised that dryness and peeling occur. There is only one way out - wear protective gloves and wash your hands thoroughly after work, and then lubricate with a nourishing cream.

Important! The best gloves for work are vinyl. The fact is that in rubber hands they sweat very much, because of which there is a risk of irritation and even fungal infection. Cotton are quickly torn and are not able to protect from moisture.

• Negative effects of the external environment: being in the cold, dry air, weathering, excessive moisture or loss of moisture can cause peeling of the skin on the hands.

Important! If peeling is not strong and appears only in the cold season, then there is no particular reason for concern. This is a seasonal phenomenon that is associated with the deterioration of external conditions. Start using nutritious creams, protect your hands from the weather and take vitamins - the problem should be fixed.

Avitaminosis

Deficiency of vitamins such as E and A can also cause peeling. In this case, an unpleasant symptom usually appears in early spring or late autumn.In the cold season, you must take vitamin complexes - so you protect yourself not only from peeling, but also from many other problems and diseases.

Important! If the cause of the unpleasant symptom is vitamin deficiency, then at the same time as taking pharmacy vitamins, also lean on fresh vegetables and fruits.

Very useful:

• carrots, various fresh greens;
• in the warm season - sweet peppers, fresh tomatoes, apricots;
• in winter you can eat eggs, cheese, potatoes, seaweed.

Important! These products contain a large amount of vitamin E, which is responsible for the elasticity and health of the skin.

Diseases:

• The reasons that originate in heredity and genes (although, sometimes they are acquired). For example, parakeratosis is the initial formation of substandard dermal cells and hyperkeratosis is the too rapid growth of these cells.
• Fungal diseases are a common cause of peeling. In this case, along with skin peeling, severe itching will also be present.
• Such non-contagious, but also unpleasant diseases, such as dermatitis and eczema, can cause quite strong peeling. In this case, it is necessary to carry out drug treatment.
• Allergies that can be caused by various factors, such as pet hair, food, dust and other pathogens.
• Syphilis.
• Scarlet fever.
• Deprive and psoriasis. Moreover, in these cases, the skin peels off with rags, especially in an already severe stage.

Important! In the case of eczema, dermatitis, fungus and other diseases, treatment can be carried out only with the help of medications and after consulting a specialist.

What does peeling between fingers mean?

• Sometimes a skin disease such as scabies becomes the cause of the problem. In this case, peeling, first of all, will be observed between the fingers, and will also be accompanied by severe itching.
• In some cases, the skin in these places can peel off not because of scabies, but because you do not properly listen to your hands after washing. High humidity can also cause an unpleasant problem. In this case, eliminating it is quite simple - just enough to thoroughly dry the skin between the fingers after each contact with water.

Important! Diabetes mellitus can also cause peeling, which occurs between the fingers. In this case, only constant monitoring of sugar levels will help, as well as taking appropriate medications.
