I'm getting mad at a hand problem. I have cured them twice without result
Hello Doctor! I have been wounds for about 10 months, with itching and burning especially after washing dishes or peeling vegetables. I made two visits and the doctor gave me vitamins and two lotions. The hand calms down during the cure and then the problem reappears. During the visit the doctor told me to be careful with spicy foods or rather not to consume them at all. I want to know what this has to do with? Do I have any other health problems that appear on the skin. Google crazy. It states that many internal diseases appear on the skin. How true is this?
The problem that you present about the skin of the hands is not unknown to dermatologists since the hands are the part of the body involved in most of human daily activity and their skin which comes into contact with everything. the surrounding environment.
In people with eczema or atopic skin (drier skin) as well as in hands with exposure to irritants (frequent washing, detergents, various chemicals) the lipid barrier dries, the surface layer of cells (keratinocytes) is damaged and damaged. as a consequence, the integrity of the Kutan barrier is broken. To limit this damage, the body activates defense mechanisms and develops inflammation manifested by erythema (redness). A wide range of inflammatory cells and mediators are involved in this inflammatory process that are aimed at limiting and repairing skin damage. Since many food products (and not just spicy ones) have properties that promote the production of inflammatory mediators, diet modification is often required in addition to local therapy, which in fact should begin by limiting many of them (acidic fruits, dairy products). , spicy, tomatoes, eggs etc) and then re-entering the diet one by one gradually until the deteriorating food is identified which will then be eliminated from the diet. But as I mentioned above, this is an accompanying measure of local medication which is established after the diagnosis has been established (eczema, atopic dermatitis, irritative contact dermatitis, etc.) and the contact of the hands with the irritating substances is avoided or limited. However some of these pathologies are chronic, with phases of sedation and irritation to medication are persistent and vary depending on the stage of the disease. But protective measures play a role in avoiding and limiting periods of irritation by avoiding contact with the irritants identified and the continued maintenance and hydration of hands through special creams.
