Patient's question:
The child initially experienced peeling of the fingers and palms. After taking vitamin C tablets and applying vitamin C skincare lotion for a week, it healed. Now, pits have appeared on the nails, and there are vertical ridges. What nutrient is the child lacking?Doctor's answer:
You are also very serious. You observe your child very carefully, noticing even such small details. This shows that you are a very caring parent. As long as your child doesn't lack meat and eats a variety of foods, and consumes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some fish, eggs, and milk, they will get enough calcium and vitamins. There should be nothing to worry about. As for the winter skin being a bit dry and peeling slightly, this is also a normal phenomenon. It's nothing to be concerned about.
