Does the skin on the fingers of a child cling? We treat kids' fingers

The skin on the baby’s body, however, as in an adult, is a protective outer cover. And therefore, caring mothers rightly sound the alarm if they see the slightest violations of the skin, including when they find that the skin on the fingers of a child’s hands is covered. By the way, the protective function is the main, but not the only, if only because the skin is the largest organ of man. It implies not only protection against mechanical or physical impact. She is involved in a number of processes:

• Respiratory
• Exchange
• Thermostatic.

Finally, the skin is an organ of senses, with the help of which a person feels pain, and heat with cold, and touch, and pressure.

The device of the skin

If the baby's integrity of the skin is impaired, namely peeling is observed, then the damage affects the upper layer of the skin - the epithelium. In general, this body consists of:

• The epidermis, which includes the same epithelium and basement membrane;
• The dermis, which is the skin, is represented by elastic fibers, skin muscles, sweat and skin glands, capillary loops and nerve endings;
• Subcutaneous fat, among which nerve fibers and blood vessels are dispersed.

And while the skin is healthy, it is smooth, supple, elastic. It looks aesthetically pleasing, a person feels comfortable. On the contrary, fingers look very unsightly when peeling off. Those around do not always respond favorably to such pens, especially since the fingers are always in sight, because the defect is constantly striking. And the painful sensations that the child experiences also need to be taken into account.

Is your skin sick?

If the parents did not change the detergents in the house for 3 months? Including soap, powder, conditioner, shampoo, bath foam, and suddenly the baby found changes in the skin, and this could be:

• Intestines,
• Liver
• Lymphatic system.

Quite often, attentive and caring parents find that the child has skin on his fingers. The reasons leading to this condition are quite a few. It is best to immediately show the baby to a qualified dermatologist. Only he will be able to correctly assess the condition of the small patient, find the reason that the skin on the fingers and toes of the child is clouded, and prescribe an effective treatment. In medicine, the condition when the skin on the arms and legs is covered is called desquamation.

Why does the child have skin on the fingers?

There are many reasons why a child has skin on his legs and arms. Consider all the factors that can lead to this condition:

• pathology of the pancreas;
• helminthic infestations;
• neurological disorders and stressful situations;
• frostbite of the fingertips;
• irradiation of the child's body;
• long-term treatment with hormonal, sulfanilamide, antibacterial drugs;
• viral diseases;
• staphylococcal or streptococcal infection;
• fungal skin lesions and other dermatoses;
• allergic skin reaction to internal or external allergens;
• vitamin deficiency, in particular an insufficient amount of vitamins A and E, necessary for the elasticity and integrity of the external epithelium.

As can be seen from the above, the skin of the child’s hands is covered for a variety of reasons, and each case of such a disease needs timely diagnosis and properly prescribed treatment, since desquamation is not an independent ailment, but a consequence of other diseases or pathologies.

How does desquamation develop?

In a child, the skin of the hands and feet is clinging gradually. Usually the first sign of this disease is itching. At first, it is not strong, the skin itches periodically, and signs of peeling of the skin are still not visible. Then the itching intensifies, the child increasingly combs the skin on the fingers and toes, from which it becomes inflamed and hyperemic. At this time, small bubbles with no visible contents appear in the interdigital areas and on the fingertips. Then these blisters increase in size, capturing more and more healthy skin. The rupture of the blisters occurs due to the fact that the baby itches all the time, as the itching intensifies. After that, the child has skin on the fingers and toes. In place of the peeling skin, a new and thin, pink color appears.

There are cases when peeling of the skin of the hands is not accompanied by severe itching and therefore parents do not immediately pay attention to the fact that there are functional disorders in the children's body. And when they finally notice, the skin is no longer on the fingers and toes, but on the palms, ankles and above. In this case, the process of treatment and recovery will be delayed.

In most cases, desquamation appears in the spring and winter, when a deficiency of vitamins begins in the child's body. Sometimes peeling of the skin of fingers and toes passes on its own without leaving any marks on the skin.

Treatment of a condition when the child has skin on his hands

When the child has skin on his feet, the first thing to do is treat the disease that triggered the appearance of desquamation. If peeling of the skin is caused by other factors (vitamin deficiency, frostbite, radiation), then it is necessary to help the skin recover as quickly as possible. To do this, first of all, you need to adjust the diet. It is necessary to introduce as many foods rich in vitamins A and E as possible into the baby’s daily menu. These vitamins are found in cereals (barley, rye, corn, oats), potatoes, fish oil, liver, eggs, peaches, apricots, plums, dried apricots, prunes , carrots, pumpkin, cabbage, dill, parsley and cilantro.

When preparing a child dishes from foods rich in vitamins A and E, do not forget that these vitamins are fat-soluble and are fully absorbed by the body only in the presence of vegetable or animal fats. Therefore, it is recommended to add a little sour cream or oil to the food.

In most cases, when the child has skin on his legs and arms, eliminating the imbalance of nutrients in a growing body is the main treatment for this disease. IN winter period, when it is problematic to include vegetables and fruits rich in essential vitamins in the child’s daily diet, it is worth consulting a pediatrician about the advisability of taking children's multivitamin complexes.

In addition to treating peeling of the skin of the hands and feet by taking vitamins A and E, due attention must be paid to hygiene procedures so that there is no infection of the comb sites. It is recommended to bathe the baby daily, gently brushing off the dried crusts on the skin. Of the folk remedies for the treatment of cases when the child is covered with skin, you can use the baths for arms and legs with decoctions of celandine, string, oak bark, chamomile. Moreover, after water procedures, damaged areas of the skin should never be wiped off, only “lightly soak” with a soft towel. Then you need to lubricate the damaged areas of the skin with a baby moisturizer. It is better if the cream contains vitamins A and E. In pharmacies, children's multivitamin creams are sold that contain not only vitamins, but also moisturizing oils, for example, Bubchen, Boro-plus, Bepanten, Radevit. You can buy in the pharmacy oil solutions of vitamins A and E, mix them and treat them with peeling places.

Skin in children is softer than in adults. It is easier to damage, rashes more often occur on it. But sometimes children's fingers and palms begin to peel off and “peel off” for no apparent reason. Why?

What you need to pay attention to

If your child’s hands begin to “peel” skin - evaluate are there any other symptoms . For instance:

• Inflammation;
• Redness;
• Itching
• Peeling in other areas of the skin;
• Discharge;
• Abrasions or scratches;
• Temperature increase;
• Deterioration of well-being.

You need to try to find out if there was contact with aggressive substances, burns, or if the child ate something allergenic.

If there is inflammation, the skin itches, there are peeling spots on other parts of the body, the child does not feel well - do not delay a visit to the doctor. This can be a symptom of a variety of diseases that require special treatment. For example, or eczema.

If there are no other phenomena, it’s probably   - a completely harmless state, which is often found in childhood and adolescence.

Description of exfoliative keratolysis

Doctors cannot establish the exact causes of this disease. First of all, because it does not cause a person any inconvenience and passes on its own. Some believe that exfoliative keratolysis is a manifestation of mild dyshidrosis (an allergic reaction that is expressed in drying out of the skin).

This condition occurs mainly in spring and summer. White spots or bubbles of exfoliated upper layer of skin appear on the palms and fingers. They are filled with air (there is no discharge in them). The surface of the spots erupts and rounded zones are formed, limited by the edges of the exfoliated epithelium.

As a rule, these sites do not itch. They may be drier than the surrounding skin. Dryness is enhanced by contact with water, soap. In rare cases, skin cracks can form at the site of peeling, secondary inflammation develops.

What to do

After a couple of weeks, the integrity of the skin is independently restored. You can use moisturizers, ointments that accelerate healing, for example, and others.

If you notice the appearance of new symptoms or if the skin condition of the child does not improve within a week - see a doctor .
