Many people often have barbs on their hands. How do you deal with them? Recently, a woman in Dalian started to have barbs on her hands and her hands began to swell and fester a few days after tearing them off. She went to the hospital. Doctors said that this kind of condition should not be underestimated. It is easy to cause inflammation by tearing and stabbing hands, which may lead to sepsis or septicemia, or even the risk of amputation.
There are three common causes of "long barb" in the transverse branches of fingers
1、 Dry skin. The outer cuticle of the skin is dry and cracked. When you look closely, you can find a crack, so the edge is covered with skin.
2、 The cuticle is not well developed. This kind of person's skin is usually easy to dry, or suffer from mild ichthyosis.
3、 Frequent contact with washing products. When doing housework, we often use detergent, detergent, hand sanitizer and other washing products, or put too many washing products, so it is easy to get barbs on our hands. To know that the kitchen washing products have a strong ability to remove oil, which will wash off the sebum on the skin, resulting in a lack of protection of the skin, evaporation of water, not only barbs, but also prone to eczema.
It's the most unwise to pull out the barb that has already grown, because the barb is connected with the muscle, which is easy to cause skin laceration when pulling out.
The correct treatment of barb is:
Soften nails and surrounding skin with water or skin care products, and then cut off the barbs with scissors. If the barb causes a crack, it must be covered with a hemostatic tape.
In the process of healing and prevention of new barbs, special attention should be paid to hand care. When doing housework, it is better to wear gloves to reduce direct contact with washing products. After taking a bath and before going to bed, you must apply hand cream. You can also apply vitamin E-containing nutritive oil or cod liver oil around your nails on time to moisturize your skin.
In addition, the family is not suitable for frequent use of hand sanitizer, which belongs to liquid detergent, contains surfactant, has the function of decontamination and degreasing, is more irritating than soap, and more prone to damage the skin.
People who often grow barbs should also consider supplementing vitamin A, e, C and trace elements such as zinc and selenium while moistening their fingers externally. They should eat more carrots, Hami melon, eggs, milk, almonds, kelp, laver, sea fish and green vegetables. It should be noted that if there is always a long barb or a long barb, it should go to the dermatology department of the hospital for detailed examination and diagnosis to prevent other diseases.
