Some people will have peelings on their hands at the time when winter goes into spring. It occurs mainly on the palms and the fingertips. They are not itchy or painful. It first started as white spots. Then they get worse at parts where there are frictions. Is there anything we can do about it?

Why would peeling happened on the hands?

Hand peeling generally happens when the weather enters from dry winter to humid spring. It is not yet hot enough for the hands to sweat. The hands feel oily but lack of moisture.  When there are too much friction peelings happen.  Some Chinese medicine practitioners believe that this is a sign of poor circulation and Excessive heat inside the body. Lack of nutrition can be a reason too. Other common causes include contacting with chemicals and hereditary.

Can lack of vitamins cause peelings?

Lacking Vitamin A to a certain degree can cause peelings on the hands. Also, some bad habits and skin infections can be the underlying causes of peelings which eventually triggered by dry weather.

1. Dyshidrotic eczema is a skin problem with fluid filled and itchy blisters.

2. Psoriasis may starts at a single finger. Then, it will spread to the rest of the hands and work on to the feet.  If not being careful, the problem will spread to the rest of the family. Since psoriasis is highly contagious, getting treated by the doctor is an urgent matter.

3. Tearing off the peels is not a cure. When you tear of the old skin, the good skin will be injured.  This will expand the peeling area and it does not help to grow new skin.

On our next discussion, we will talk about caring and treatment.

In these days, you should not leave home without a mask if you want to protect yourself from COVID-19. But the masks are not just for your face. Some nail artist got the idea to put them on the nails.  And along with a Crown-like virus, isn’t that hilarious?

今年皆因covid-19，口罩已經成為大家日常生活必需品。

口罩除了可戴上面，小編近日仲見到外國既美甲師有一個大膽的設計，就係將口罩戴上指甲上呀！依個設計相當盞鬼，連細菌小子都戴埋上指甲，搞鬼之餘創意簡直係100分！

In our last post, we talked about the five causes of thickened nails. In fact, there is one more major cause — nail fungus.

Fungal nails and nail thickening

1. Fungal infection is the leading cause of thick nail

Our last post talked about thick nails being a sign of other conditions. However, thickened fungal nails are quite common amongst elderlies.  Thick nail is the inevitable sign of fungal infection.

2. How does a fungal infection lead to thickening of the nail?

When fungus invades into the nail plate or the nail bed, it will quickly multiply itself and make the nail thick.  The accumulation of Cornified substances further add  thickness to the nail.  This causes the nail to discolor.  Generally, the nail can be beefed up by two to three times thicker

3. Fungal infection can cause serious problem to the nail

If the problem is left untreated, lifting will occrwhile it continues to thicken.  The nail will look cloudy And  eventually come off.  What makes it worse is if there is athletes foot atthe same time, cross infection can happen between them and ends up in  much more complicated problem

If this is the case, go to see a specialist as soon as possible.

上次提到5種令腳趾甲變厚的原因，其實還有一個引致腳趾甲變厚的因素—-灰甲。

灰甲與腳趾甲變厚

1）灰甲是趾甲變厚的主因

事實上，上回提過腳趾甲變厚的原因只是一些疾病的附加表現。很多時候，老人家腳趾甲變厚大多數都是由灰指甲造成的。腳趾甲變厚最主要的原因是患上了灰甲，是灰甲導致腳趾甲變厚的。

2）為何患上灰甲會出現腳趾甲變厚

腳趾甲變厚是因為真菌進入到甲板或者是甲床以後快速繁殖使腳趾甲變厚，角質物的堆積會使腳趾甲變厚情況加劇。腳趾甲變厚也加深了甲床混濁程度，一般腳趾甲變厚後可以比正常甲板厚1～3倍或以上!

3）灰甲對腳趾甲的危害其實很大

在腳趾甲變厚時不予以控制，將不止出現腳趾甲變厚的情況，後期甲板翹起時腳趾甲變厚情況更嚴重、更渾濁，最終腳趾甲變厚導致甲板脫落。同時，導致腳趾甲變厚的甲真菌還會交叉感染腳癬，若甲癬和腳癬同時發作將比腳趾甲變厚難治得多，可不只是治療腳趾甲變厚那麼簡單了。

如果患有這種情況，應該盡快尋找一些專業人士處理及早醫治！
