Patient's question:
What is the reason for peeling fingertips in a 10-year-old child? How long does it take to heal? Please help me! Is there any good method? Please give me some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
It is due to the lack of vitamin B1. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the onset is primarily caused by blood deficiency and dryness, loss of skin nourishment, and dry-heat generating wind. Treatment should focus on nourishing blood, moisturizing dryness, and dispelling wind to stop itching. From a Western medicine perspective, common causes of peeling hands include fungal infections leading to tinea manuum; chemical injuries causing contact dermatitis; and genetic factors leading to exfoliative keratolysis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination. I wonder how the child's appetite is.
