Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The treatment methods for peeling hands mainly include:
1. Improve diet: Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and water, such as lemons, oranges, dragon fruit, bananas, etc., to supplement necessary nutrients and promote skin repair.
2. Skin care: Wash hands with warm water, avoid using excessively hot or cold water, and apply hand cream after washing hands to protect the skin mucosa and prevent moisture loss.
3. Avoid irritants: Try to avoid contact with strong irritants such as detergents, cosmetics, and allergenic substances such as willow fluff and pollen.
4. Medication: If the symptoms of peeling hands are severe, it is recommended to use topical medications under a doctor's guidance, such as mometasone furoate cream or tacrolimus ointment, to relieve symptoms. If accompanied by discomfort such as itching, redness, swelling, or pain, oral antiallergic drugs or antibiotics may be taken for treatment.
