What to do if your hands are peeling

Hands play a huge role in a person's life, because we have many opportunities to use our hands in our daily work and life, such as brushing teeth, washing face, eating, and bathing, all of which need to be done with hands, so people generally attach great importance to their hands. In daily life, our hands often peel due to work, housework, or other reasons. So, what should we do if our hands peel?

There are many reasons for peeling on the hands. The most common ones are: work, climate change and contact with chemicals. In fact, the most serious one is long-term exposure to chemicals, which sometimes can even lead to rotting and paralysis of the entire hand. So. Here are some ways to deal with peeling on your hands.

1. Wash your hands with salt water

First, take the iodine-free salt you use at home and rub it between your hands. Then dilute it with a small amount of water and let the salt water stay on your hands for a few minutes. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening every day. You will see the effects after a week.

2. Wash your hands with ginger soup

Slice the ginger and put it in a cup of boiling water. After the ginger soup cools down naturally, pour it into your hands and rub it. Do this 1-2 times a day. You will see results after 5 days.

3. Soak ginger in wine and apply it on your hands

Take fresh ginger, chop it into pieces and soak it in white wine for 1 day, then apply it to the affected area 1-2 times a day. The therapeutic effect is significant.

4. Rub your hands with vitamin C

Wash your hands, dry them, pour the vitamin C injection solution into the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and apply the vitamin C solution evenly to the skin of both hands. Wait until the liquid is absorbed by the skin, turns white and dries, then wash your hands. Apply 2 ml twice a day, 3 days as a course of treatment and the damaged skin will be repaired.

5. Rub your hands with rice vinegar

After washing your hands, pour a small amount of rice vinegar into your hands and rub them repeatedly until your skin absorbs the vinegar, but you don’t need to wash your hands again after rubbing. Rub your hands in this way 3-4 times a day, rub before going to bed every night, and wear gloves when sleeping for better results. After a week, the peeling on your hands will disappear.

6. Reduce exposure to alkali

Patients with peeling hands should be careful not to come into contact with alkaline substances, such as alkaline soaps and detergents. Housewives should wear rubber gloves when washing clothes to avoid direct contact with their hands and prevent the symptoms from worsening.

If one day we find that the skin on our hands is peeling, the first thing we should do is to go to the hospital for a check-up to see what causes the peeling. Only after we know the cause of peeling on our hands can we prescribe the right remedy. In fact, prevention is better than cure for any disease, so we should always maintain an optimistic attitude in our daily life, not get angry easily, and try to avoid being excited and nervous.
