For many mothers, is there such a puzzle? In spring, there are a lot of barbs on the baby's hands, which are very painful. They are very painful when touched. What is the reason for the barbs on the baby's hands? Let's learn with Xiaobian.
In fact, the "barbed" on the baby's finger mentioned above by the Baoma refers to the "barb", which is called reverse peeling in medicine. Generally, under normal circumstances, the nail is closely connected with the skin, without any space, forming a natural barrier, but sometimes we can see that the skin near the nail root on the surface of the finger tip will crack, forming a raised triangular barbed, which is called barb.
Doctors say the barb is a superficial skin injury, not a major problem. Just will let the baby hand appear discomfort, as long as pay attention to hand care at ordinary times, the situation of barb can be relieved. However, if you tear it with your hands, the site of the barb is likely to cause secondary bacterial infection, which may lead to paronychia in severe cases.
Some parents are puzzled that the skin of the baby's little hands is tender. Why do they suddenly have barbs? There are three main reasons:
1. Dry skin
If Baoma doesn't take good care of her baby at ordinary times, she will easily crack when her skin becomes dry, especially in winter, her baby's fingers are likely to grow barbs.
2, good move
Little guys are always lively and active. They are not free at all. They often scratch toys or other things with their little hands, which makes their delicate skin grow barbs.
3. Lack of nutrition
If the baby's daily diet is lack of vitamin C or other trace elements, it will appear on the skin surface, and barb is one of them.
Children's fingers have long barbs, but also find out the reasons for the barbs, so what parents need to do next is to help children alleviate this phenomenon.
1. Nail care: keep your nails clean and educate your baby. It's a very difficult thing to bite your nails.
2. Supplement nutrition, and pay more attention to the baby's diet. Because the appearance of common barbs is caused by too little grease in fingers. So at ordinary times, Baoma should let her baby drink more water and eat more fruits. In case of barbs due to lack of vitamins or microelements, parents are advised to take their children to the hospital for examination.
3. If the skin is dry and causes barbs, the parents should pay attention to keeping the indoor humidity, and take good care measures at ordinary times. They can use warm water to soak their hands, and then apply moisturizing and moisturizing skin care products, preferably edible, such as olive oil.
4. If the baby has long barbs on his fingers, the parents must not use their hands to pull them out, because if the baby's skin is torn, it may cause infection. So parents can let their baby's hands soak in warm water for a while before cutting the barbs. After the barbs become soft, they can use scissors to help the baby cut the barbs.
