Stabbing is a type of skin injury that is located on the superficial surface. Although it is not a major problem, children often tear it with their hands due to curiosity or discomfort after growing it, leading to bleeding and infection. Adults will feel uncomfortable with thorns, let alone children. So what is a baby's hand lacking in thorns?
Firstly, if the spines on a child's fingers do not heal for a long time, it is likely due to a lack of vitamin C, vitamin B, and vitamin A. Parents should check their children's daily diet and eat more foods rich in vitamins. If children lack vitamin A, they are prone to peeling and prickling. The increase in vitamin C levels in the body is also closely related to maintaining skin health.
Secondly, many parents believe that when their children have minor health problems, it is due to the commonly known lack of vitamins, even the occurrence of spikes is inevitable. Many mothers believe that their children have insufficient vitamin C, but the occurrence of spikes is not only related to the lack of vitamin C. We should also be cautious of other factors and not blindly supplement vitamins. Children who are playful and active are also prone to developing spines. Frequently biting their nails, grabbing toys, or rubbing too much with other objects can cause their delicate skin to grow thorns.
Also, if a baby has long and prickly fingers, it may not necessarily be due to a lack of something. It may just be caused by excessively dry skin. You can first cut off the prickles, then apply baby moisturizer and massage for a while to keep the skin moist. It may also be due to the baby frequently eating their hands and being soaked in saliva for a long time.
