Cheshutya hands between the fingers: the causes and treatment

If the hands are scratched between the fingers, this may indicate the presence of many dangerous diseases. Therefore, deal with the causes and take urgent measures.

There are several reasons that are the main source of pruritus. They can be different pathogens, so be sure to visit a dermatologist before starting treatment.

Dermatitis or allergy

Most often, an allergy occurs by direct contact with allergens of chemical or biological species. But dermatitis is a chronic disease that makes itself felt with malnutrition, weakened immunity, sudden temperature changes or under other conditions.

It is necessary to fight with such diseases with the help of antihistamines, which reduce the activity of blood cells that release histamine. It is this substance that affects reddening and itching between the fingers. However, if the skin is scratched between the fingers, do not self-medicate. After all, improperly selected drugs will lower your immunity and cause addiction. So, other drugs and ointments will be much worse.

Scab or scabies

Scabies haunts humanity for more than one century. Fortunately, for today such ailment is extremely rare due to new technologies and excellent hygiene means. However, the causative agent of the disease has not yet been destroyed. So, there is a risk of "picking up" such an ailment. And if it itches between fingers, what to treat? This question is asked by many victims of scabies. This microscopic creature settles under the human skin and "builds" its labyrinths there. It is in these labyrinths that the itch mite and lays its eggs.

The parasite can easily be carried over the body of the host. It's enough just to hold any part of the body with a damaged arm. The same can be said about handshakes. Very often this disease spreads among children, because they play in the street and very rarely wash their hands. If you notice the slightest sign of a scab, immediately go to the dermatologist. The launched disease will lead to itching all over the body and leave ugly scars.

Pay attention to the symptoms of scabies :

• The skin between the fingers acquires a reddish hue and begins to itch strongly;
• Damaged places become wet;
• The skin begins to thicken and peel;
• There is a rash between the fingers, itches.

Autoimmune diseases

Sometimes a person's hands are scratched between his fingers. This may indicate the presence of autoimmune diseases. This ailment is caused by immune cells, which begin to actively fight the cells of the body. In those places of the skin, where there are violations, there is dryness, rash and itching.

Such a disease is treated with the help of inhibitory drugs, that is, those drugs that cleave histamine or reduce the activity of basophils. In no case do not self-medicate. Especially it concerns folk broths and ointments. So you just make the situation worse by the appearance of allergic reactions.

Fungi

If there is redness between your fingers and it itches, you may have been attacked by fungal diseases. Such parasites penetrate the skin and damage it. You will notice redness, peeling, unpleasant odor, moisture and itching. If you do not urgently begin treatment, the fungus will pass to the nails and other parts of the body. The dermatologist will write out special ointments and drops, as well as drugs that increase immunity. At a time when you will be infected, you must actively comply with hygiene requirements and avoid high humidity. Also, physical activities that lead to sweating are not recommended.

Be sure to complete the entire course of treatment. Even if it seems to you that the signs of the fungus are no more, still use the medication for a few more days. Perhaps under the skin there is still a small number of parasites that will again multiply.

Lishay

If your hands are scratching between your fingers, and you notice changes in the skin of your pets, it is most likely a deprivation. Urgently address to the doctor, in fact the given fungoid disease very quickly extends on all body. You will notice redness and scaling. A damaged skin will begin to itch. Treatment should be comprehensive and prescribed by a doctor. Do not expect that the people's means will help you. No, lichen is an infection that only special medicines can cope with.

Excessive dryness of the skin

Very often the hands are scratched between the fingers due to excessively dry skin. In this case, there is nothing terrible. It is enough to regularly use a nutritious and moisturizing cream and drink a course of vitamins. In winter, always wear warm gloves and hide your hands from the wind.
