They are prone to damage and may show some signs.

We will also introduce some simple nail designs that are suitable for the office, so be sure to read to the end!

Is hand eczema a sign of help from your body?

For those with sensitive skin who often experience itching, or those who have recently been feeling unwell with their skin .

The symptom may be hand eczema .

Hand eczema is a typical skin condition of the hands.

Hand eczema is a general term for inflammation or eczema that occurs on the hands .

Specifically, on the palms, fingers, and backs of the hands.

This refers to a condition in which an inflammatory reaction occurs, resulting in itching, redness, blisters, swelling, and cracking .

Severe hand eczema is not just itchy

It can cause pain and affect your appearance

There are a lot of painful symptoms ...

It could also be said that this is an advanced stage of hand roughness .

These are typical examples, but in reality, these problems may occur simultaneously.

Or they happen in sequence.

Sometimes it is not possible to determine the exact cause.

What are the symptoms, causes and treatments for hand eczema?

Hand eczema can be broadly divided into four types :

This time, we will introduce the symptoms, causes, and treatments for each!

Hand eczema ① A gradually developing allergic reaction

Symptoms : redness, itching, pain, swelling, eczema, blisters

Allergic contact dermatitis is a condition in which a substance comes into contact with the skin and causes an allergic reaction.

Symptoms do not appear immediately after contact with the causative substance, but rather often appear 24 hours to several days later ( delayed-type allergy ).

The causative substances also vary greatly depending on the individual's constitution.

What is likely to cause

・Metal ⛓

・Rubber products🧤

・Detergent and shampoo🫧

・Hair dye ingredients💇‍♀️

・Plants🌿

etc.

These do not cause symptoms immediately after contact.

The problem is that it is difficult to pinpoint the cause of an allergy .

When symptoms appear, what did you come into contact with within a few hours to 2 or 3 days prior?

Have you had similar symptoms before?

It is effective to avoid touching the cause , or to wash it off if you do come into contact with it!

Also, if you know of any suspicious substances, you can have them confirmed by a dermatologist's patch test !

It seems that the test can be done for around 1,000 to 6,000 yen .

Hand eczema 2. An allergic reaction that immediately causes discomfort

Symptoms : Heat from the inside, swelling, redness, and itching, similar to hives

"Contact dermatitis to protein antigens" occurs when you come into contact with a specific allergen.

It's the same principle as hay fever and many food allergies.

Symptoms appear at the site of contact 15 to 30 minutes after exposure to certain substances.

If you stop touching it or wash it off,

The characteristic of this condition is that the symptoms often subside ( immediate-type allergy ).

What is likely to cause

・Food🍖 (meat, dairy products, seafood, vegetables, fruits, spices)

・Other animal dander and hair🐱

・Pollen🦠

etc.

Get an allergy test at a dermatologist or ENT specialist

Know your allergies

It is recommended to avoid contact with allergens.

If you are suffering from symptoms, the test is often covered by insurance .

In this case, the test can be done for around 5,000 yen !

Hand eczema ③ Allergic reaction to irritants

Symptoms : redness, itching, pain, swelling, eczema, blisters

It can also look like it has welts.

Irritant contact dermatitis is a condition that can occur when the skin comes into contact with a highly irritating substance or is subjected to friction damage .

In addition, when the skin's barrier function is weakened ,

You become more sensitive to stimuli than usual, increasing your risk of developing the disease.

What is likely to cause

・Detergent🫧

・Cosmetics💄

・Chemicals and medicines💊

・Food🍖

・Sap🍯

・Friction from clothing and paper👕

The most effective way to prevent this is to avoid contact with harsh substances such as detergents and chemicals.

However, if it is unavoidable due to housework or work,

Wear rubber gloves to avoid direct contact!

If your hands get itchy from rubber or get itchy from sweating,

We recommend wearing rubber gloves over cotton gloves .

It can reduce discomfort!

Hand eczema ④ Eczema caused by dryness

Symptoms : Itching, eczema, peeling skin

Dry eczema is a condition that occurs when the skin's barrier function is weakened due to dryness .

The stratum corneum of the epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and acts as a barrier .

When the sebum in the stratum corneum evaporates, the skin becomes dry.

The stratum corneum peels off, creating gaps

It becomes more susceptible to external stimuli.

cause

・Dry skin⚡️ (low humidity, UV rays, decreased oil content)

This phenomenon is caused by a decrease in the barrier function.

It also becomes susceptible to reactions with the substances introduced in ① to ③.

In addition to applying moisturizer properly, frequent hydration and proper diet can also help.

It's important to take care of your body both inside and out .

A proper diet is one that has a good balance of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.

A diet that is appropriate for your height, age, and activity level.

When you cut down on fats and carbohydrates to lose weight

You may not get enough of the nutrients you need and end up feeling unwell.

For beautiful skin, eat a healthy diet .

Caution: 8 bad habits that increase your risk of hand eczema

To improve these hand eczemas, you need to review the habits you may not even realize you have.

⚠️Washing dishes with bare hands

Common dishwashing detergents contain surfactants to remove stains.

This will wash away the necessary sebum from your hands.

May cause itching.

Try wearing rubber gloves .

⚠️Does not moisturize

The surface of the skin naturally has barrier functions such as sebum and the stratum corneum.

However, due to aging or doing water work , sebum can become insufficient, resulting in a weakened barrier function.

Creating a barrier with moisturizer is effective!

Also, hot water tends to wash away oils from your hands.

If possible, try to use room temperature .

⚠️Excessive use of alcohol disinfectant

Even disinfectants that clean your hands should not be overused .

The body interprets alcohol itself as a stimulant .

This is because it strips away sebum !

Don't just use alcohol to disinfect your hands because you're worried about viruses.

Please wash your hands properly and moisturize your hands.

⚠️Not knowing your allergies

If you don't understand your allergies, you may suffer from unexplained skin problems for a long time.

Also, do you think allergies are only to food?

House dust , pollen , pet hair , etc.

It can cause allergies!

Symptoms may be present without you realizing it,

It might be a good idea to get it checked out by a dermatologist or an ENT specialist .

⚠️Unhealthy lifestyle

An unbalanced diet and lack of sleep can unknowingly cause stress to the body .

Stress can cause autonomic nervous system disorders and a weakened immune system , which can worsen dermatitis!

Also, people who like to eat greasy or spicy foods should be careful.

It is said that the skin reflects the state of the internal organs.

Spicy foods can cause stomach and intestinal fatigue

It may also have adverse effects on the skin.

It's not good to hold back too much on the things you like.

First, try to limit spicy or fried foods to a certain number of times per week , within a range that you can continue.

⚠️Don't use insect repellent

Itchy and red insect bites ...

Don't underestimate insect bites!

In some cases, the area may become severely swollen or may even be scratched, resulting in impetigo .

The substances that insects inject into our bodies can also be considered a type of allergen .

For beautiful skin,

Be sure to wear insect repellent when you go out!

⚠️No sun protection

Sunburn can be very drying on the skin

Be sure to take precautions against sunburn to maintain your skin's barrier function !

Also, some people are allergic to ultraviolet rays .

After exposure to UV rays, small, itchy bumps appear.

The moment you get exposed to it, your skin may become red and swollen, causing pain and itching .

Even people who have never had symptoms before can suddenly develop the disease , so it's important to take daily precautions!

It will wash off with sweat, so be sure to reapply it every few hours .

⚠️Forcing yourself to use cosmetics that don't suit you

Cosmetics (makeup, moisturizers, soaps, etc.) may contain oxidizing agents , fragrances , and metals .

Allergic reactions to these often cause skin irritation.

Cosmetics that sting or itch when used

If it gets worse, you may develop eczema

Let's not use it😭

Alternatively, you may be able to use it on your décolleté or hips without any tingling, so try using a small amount.

🆘What happens if you leave the problem unattended?

If you leave skin problems untreated,

- Itching persists and leads to scratching and peeling skin

・Further irritation from the peeled area

Pigmentation occurs

・Skin becomes hard ...

This creates a vicious cycle of discomfort ...! It also increases the risk of appearing older than your actual age.

Therefore, if you experience any discomfort, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist immediately .

Over-the-counter skin medications are also effective,

If not used correctly, the condition may worsen or the medication may stop working.

Under the guidance of a dermatologist

By receiving the right treatment at the right time

You can keep your skin healthy and radiant

In addition, highly effective medicines can be prescribed under insurance coverage ,

It's much more cost-effective than using over-the-counter medicines!

Don't think it's nothing serious, but be brave and go see a doctor!

If you have sensitive skin, be careful with gel nails.

This time I introduced some skin problems on the hands.

For those who have such problems,

Many people have sensitive skin or a weakened skin barrier .

If you have such skin, be careful of allergies to gel nails ! ⚠️

-Leave the gel on your fingertips

・Getting gel nails done when you have hangnails on your fingers

・Getting gel nails done when you are tired and your immune system is weakened

and the risk of developing the disease increases significantly.

If you develop an allergy or are worried about your health,

You need to enjoy fashionable hands in a way other than gel nails 💅

Other than gel nails...

Manicure/Nail Stickers

To prevent further damage such as cracking or breaking of nails,

We recommend keeping your nails short with a file!

Then, enjoy applying your favorite polish or stickers on top of it.

When removing, use a non-acetone nail polish remover

Don't forget to moisturize after removing it .

Nail tips

With EVERNAIL, you don't have to worry about that!

When removing it, you can soften the adhesive with hot water and then easily remove it with the included wooden stick !
