Blisters and rough skin on the palms

Calloused skin and blisters on the palms are generally attributed to physiological factors, as well as pathological causes such as vitamin A deficiency and tinea manuum (fungal hand infection). Most cases can be improved through general care or medical treatment. Specific details are as follows:

1. Physiological Causes

If the palms are naturally dry or frequently exposed to chemical substances such as laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid, irritation may occur, leading to rough, calloused skin. Symptoms usually gradually improve once exposure is reduced.

2. Pathological Causes

1) Vitamin A Deficiency

Excessively dry palms combined with a lack of vitamins in the body may lead to increased skin moisture loss, resulting in rough, scaly skin. In such cases, treatment under medical guidance with vitamin AD soft capsules, vitamin AD drops, or vitamin AD gelatin capsules is recommended.

2) Tinea Manuum (Hand Fungus)

Tinea manuum is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes affecting the skin of the hands. Contact with personal items used by infected individuals may trigger this condition, leading to the symptoms described. Medical treatment may include antifungal medications such as miconazole nitrate cream, compound ketoconazole cream, or liranaftate cream, as prescribed by a doctor.

In addition, conditions such as eczema, dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx), or palmoplantar pustulosis may also cause similar symptoms. If no significant improvement occurs after prolonged self-care, it is important to seek timely evaluation at a reputable medical facility to identify the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.
