الجلد في طرف إبهامي جاف ومشقق ويؤلمني. ما الذي يمكنني فعله للتعافي؟

إجابة من لورنس إي غيبسون، (دكتور في الطب)

يعتمد العلاج على سبب جفاف البشرة. على سبيل المثال، إذا كنتي تغسلين الصحون بشكل متكرر بالماء الساخن، فارتدي قفازات. أو إذا كنتي تغسلي يديك غالبًا بصابون قاسٍ وجاف، فتحولي إلى صابون أكثر اعتدالًا إذا أمكن ذلك واشطفيهما جيدًا.

يمكن التعافي من شقوق أطراف الإبهام من خلال سد الشقوق بضمادة سائلة وترطيب يديك عدة مرات يوميًا، خصوصًا في الوقت الذي لا تزال مبللة فيه بعد غسلهما. استخدمي مرطبًا كثيفًا، مثل سيرافي أو يوسيرين أو سيتافيل.

قد يساعد أيضًا على علاج الجلد المصاب استخدام كريمات ثقيلة ذات أساس زيتي أو فازلين (فازلين، أوكافور هيلنج أوينتمنت، وغيرها) أثناء النوم. كجزء من روتين وقت النوم، ضعي المرطب على الجلد الجاف المشقق على أطراف الإبهام وغطيها باستخدام قفازات قطنية أو شاش محكم بشريط لصق.
