Hands

Hands are also subjected to multiple attacks throughout the day. The main assault came the use of chemicals such as detergents or dyes. These substances have the ability to break down fats, thus easily destroyed fatty mantle protects the skin.

If these substances are handled without adequate protection originates dry scaly skin and easy to injure. In severe cases or when there is some awareness to some of the compounds used, may occur in patches of red skin that stretch, leading subsequently to the very painful cracks. To carry out any work with these substances should protect hands with gloves. If gloves irritate us, it is advisable to get other cotton underneath.

They are very useful moisturizers, recovering the oily skin mantle. I recommend several applications a day even when we are using gloves, to cream more easily absorbed by the heat they produce. Sometimes, you can apply moisturizer on your hands before bed, then covering them with some cotton.

The nail is also important. In the smaller, shorter nails may prevent self-injury. To cut it is better not to use nail clippers and scissors. The cut should be straight and transverse avoiding injury that seals the nail cuticle.

As a result of a blow over a finger, you may receive a clot under the nail. In this case, if very painful, it is desirable that a medical drain. In the event that the nail was injured, do not try to tear, because it could damage the nail bed where the new form. It is better to sell and wait for the new nail to emerge loose. In the event that has penetrated a splinter or thorn in the skin, must be taken to remove with forceps following the angle of entry. One can attempt to sterilize the tweezers with fire previously. If the sliver is visible under the skin, you can open part of it until you can get. After withdrawal of the chip, should tighten the area in order to bleed something, then wash the wound with soap and water for five minutes. If we nailed a fishhook in this case should not be withdrawn following the route of entry for the hook injure tissues. To prevent the tip should be made out through the skin and then cut the hook or cover it with thread to withdraw after the bait.
