Warmer temperatures, more microbial activity, and more sweating...... In the spring and summer, many people began to have hand skin problems, and we also saw many user messages in the background:
There were blisters on his hands over and over again, red and itchy, and he didn't dare to reach out;
The hands are molting wildly, and the edges of the fingers are covered with small blisters, and they dare not touch others for fear of infecting each other;
I feel prickly, itchy, and I can't calm down at all to work and study;
My hands are sweaty and sticky, and I don't dare to shake hands with others......
These hand problems are not only uncomfortable, affect work and study status, but also make people feel embarrassed in social situations.
Therefore, once these problems occur, the scientific and effective way is to seek help from a dermatologist as soon as possible and use medical means to solve them. Don't think that skin discomfort is a minor problem and don't take it seriously.
Why is it more likely to have problems with the skin on my hands?
Hands are more exposed to various irritants than other parts of the skin, such as detergents for washing hands and dishes, peeling oranges, etc...... So it's more likely to have problems.
Moreover, there are many types of skin problems on the hands, and it is important to distinguish and treat them correctly, so today we have selected 3 of the common skin problems on the hands to briefly chat with you.
Sweat blisters

Dyshidrosis is also known as "dyshidrosis eczema" and "dyshidrosis", which is essentially a special type of "eczema".
The main presentation is rice-grain-sized blisters on the edges of the fingers and/or toes, which are recurrent, with marked itching and sometimes a burning sensation. Generally, the disease begins in late spring and early summer, and is most severe in summer, and the disease becomes milder when the weather turns cooler, and it is basically not affected in winter.
Symptoms can be relieved by drug treatment, and phototherapy can be taken if necessary, but if not treated in time or inappropriately, it may cause symptoms to worsen and affect normal work and life.

Eczema on the hands that lasts for more than 3 months or recurs 2 or more times within a year is called chronic eczema on the hands.
It can manifest as erythema, papules, peeling, blisters, skin thickening, lichenification, etc., and in severe cases, skin cracking and erosion of the hands.
First, try to avoid contact with suspected triggers and irritants, and secondly, topical corticosteroid creams can be used for treatment. For patients with severe or refractory disease, drugs such as oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressants may be added, or phototherapy may be tried.

Hand Wound

Tinea manifolia, commonly known as goosefoot wind, is an infectious disease caused by fungal invasion of the skin between the fingers, palms, and palms. The most common fungus that causes ringworm of the hand is dermatophytes.
It is manifested by blistering, scaling, and itching between the fingers or palms, often accompanied by thickening and dirty nails.
The treatment of patients with tinea manuis is mainly external antifungal drugs, and it is very important to adhere to the medication, and it is necessary to insist on using it for 1~2 months.
In addition, if the skin on the hands is deficient in a certain vitamin, it can also lead to various diseases: psoriasis, Kawasaki disease in children, keratosis dermatosa......
The symptoms of these hand problems may be relatively similar, all of which are small blisters, peeling, itching, etc., which are difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. Only by clearly distinguishing what the problem is, can we use drugs in a targeted manner and treat them more effectively.
Seeking medical attention as soon as possible can make it easier, cheaper and more efficient for people to say goodbye to hand discomfort and suffer less crime.

Treats various skin diseases of the hands
It is not recommended to facilitate self-medication
For the sake of convenience, when many people find that they have skin problems on their hands, their first reaction is not to go to the doctor, but to buy medicine for their own use, which is actually a serious misunderstanding.
The medication regimen needs to be comprehensively decided based on the degree of personal illness and physical condition, what to use, how to use it, and how long to use it...... These need to be evaluated by a medical professional, especially for users with recurrent episodes and severe symptoms.
For dermatological problems, even if you have seen a doctor before, but now the symptoms and severity of the symptoms are different after recurrence, and the medication regimen may be different.
Moreover, even if it is treated by self-medication, it may be because some ointments are suitable for many diseases. In this case, because there is no full course of treatment, it is easy to recur, and it is more difficult to treat later.
Therefore, it is important to seek guidance from a professional doctor on medication, and it is not recommended to deal with it on your own.
