If your skin is dry and cracked to the point of blood, then the cause must first be sought in the general condition of the body. The skin, experiencing the direct impact of the environment, can successfully fulfill its protective properties only if it is fully provided with everything necessary. If this does not happen, then it dries and cracks, acquiring a very unsightly appearance.

Possible reasons

The skin on the hands can dry, peel, peel and crack for the following reasons:

  1. 1. Impact of weather conditions. If your hands are not accustomed to harsh environmental conditions, then this will definitely affect their skin when you stay in the hot sun, cold wind or frost for a long time.
  2. 2. Work without gloves with hard and rough objects. In this case, damage awaits mainly the palm, but the entire brush can take on a very unpleasant appearance.
  3. 3. Long stay in contact with aggressive media. This is especially true of alkali, which strongly affects the skin, contributing to the formation of cracks and ulcerations. This may be a consequence of frequent and prolonged washing, washing hands with strong disinfectants.
  4. 4. Metabolic disorders due to various diseases. These may include diabetes mellitus, age-related changes, diseases of the endocrine glands and the digestive system.
  5. 5. Deficiency of vitamins, macro- and microelements that regulate the body's water balance, as well as the state of protective covers. Any deficiency of elements necessary for the body negatively affects the condition of the skin, but the lack of vitamins A, E and the entire group B is especially significant.
  6. 6. Fungal diseases. With advanced fungal infections, the hands flake off, the fingers itch, the skin exfoliates and cracks. In addition, bubble rashes appear, deformation of the nails occurs.
  7. 7. Eczema. These are non-infectious lesions, in which symptoms of a fungal infection may appear, but usually there is no deformation of the nails. Hypertrophic thickening of skin areas can be observed, hands swell and itch.
  8. 8. Non-infectious dermatitis. It can appear as a result of the body's reaction to adverse factors. Most often, this is an allergic reaction to substances that have entered the body or come into contact with the skin. In addition, the skin can lose its healthy state with strong nervous shocks experienced by a person.

Thus, if the skin of the hands is dry and cracks to the point of blood, then first of all it is necessary to find out what is the cause of this phenomenon. As a rule, in order to take measures to improve the situation with publicly available means, it is enough to exclude eczema, dermatitis and fungal infection, since these skin diseases require specialist intervention and special treatment.

Cosmetics

Hand care is always essential. And it's not about aesthetic appeal. It bears the entire protective load on a thin layer of skin. The impact of the environment to the greatest extent affects the condition of the skin of the face and hands. For this reason, care for these areas of our body is so important.

If the cracks in the skin of the hands are festering, this means that they have got a bacterial infection. In this case, antibacterial ointments such as Liniment balsamic (according to Vishnevsky), Liniment synthomycin, Streptocid ointment, etc. should be used. However, it is not necessary to lubricate the entire surface of the skin of the hands, but only the areas where there is inflammation.

Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. This rule fully applies to problems with the skin of the hands. In order to protect it from drying out and cracks, it is necessary not only to constantly care for it, lubricating it with moisturizing and nourishing creams. Do not forget that the condition of the skin depends on the provision of the body with vitamin E. This is one of the most effective antioxidants. It rejuvenates the entire body, which will definitely affect the beauty and health of the skin of the hands and face.
