Why Do My Hands Peel in Hot Weather?
During hot weather, our skin sweat glands are more developed and sweating occurs. However, some people find that besides frequent sweating, their hands also experience peeling. This may be caused by a skin disease due to bacterial infection. Daily, some ointments can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the peeling area is large, it is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by a lack of vitamins. As the palms lack the natural barrier of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, bleeding and pain caused by peeling can not only affect aesthetics, but also have a certain impact on patients' social life and work. At the same time, it also increases the risk of contact infection by some bacteria and viruses (such as hepatitis B and sexually transmitted diseases) taking advantage of the situation. Besides the palms, the same peeling can also occur on the toes. If a person contracts hand ringworm, it may also lead to peeling of the hands, which is a very obvious feature. If the hands also have symptoms such as redness or unbearable itching, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for relevant examinations and adjustments, as hand ringworm is often contagious. Lack of vitamins: If a person is picky about food in daily life and rarely eats vegetables and fruits, it is likely to lead to a lack of vitamins in the body, which can easily cause peeling of the hands. Therefore, it is recommended that such people eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in their daily lives. Sweat blisters: Many people may develop small blisters on their hands during the summer. After 1-2 weeks, the blisters will gradually dissipate, and then the skin will become dry and peel off. This condition is known as sweat blisters, which is mainly caused by excessive dampness in the body. Irritants: If your skin is delicate and you come into contact with certain irritants, you may also experience peeling of your fingers. It is recommended that such people try to minimize contact with chemicals and alkaline foods in their daily lives, such as laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid.
