Three years old is a boundary for children, because children over three years old have a certain degree of self-management ability. For example, many children's toys indicate that children under three years old cannot play, and kindergartens generally require children over three years old to enter the kindergarten. So, children under the age of three need extra care from their parents, especially when they are injured. So, what should I do if my baby's toe cap is cracked?
What should I do if my baby's toe cap is cracked
If the cracking of the baby's toe cap is not too severe, you can clean the baby's feet and apply anti cracking plant ointment. If the baby's toe cap is severely cracked, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to determine whether it is caused by trauma or certain diseases. Although toe cap cracking is not noticeable, it cannot be ignored to avoid affecting the child's normal walking in the future.
Reasons for the cracking of the toe cap
In fact, there are roughly two reasons for the cracking of the toe cap: one is the cracking caused by external forces, such as trauma, and the other is the cracking caused by a lack of trace elements in the body, such as B vitamins related to the metabolism of the skin's stratum corneum. If it is an external injury, just buy a band aid and wrap it up. If there is no external injury, it is likely that there is a lack of trace elements. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to confirm which type of trace elements are lacking.
Many parents may find it strange that their baby's toes are cracked. Actually, this is not a strange thing because a baby's toe cap is very delicate. If there are cracks, the main reasons are external forces and diseases. Although external forces may cause cracking, considering that children are less likely to suffer from external injuries, the main reason is due to certain diseases caused by a lack of trace elements. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
