Pimples on the arms: 25 effective treatment methods, photographs of the disease

Pimples on the hands, according to most, are a childhood ailment that appears due to the influence of moisture on exposed skin, as well as unfavorable natural conditions: frosty, windy, very cold weather.

But adults are also susceptible to this disease, especially those who are associated with chemicals due to their professional activities.

Also, the frequency of cases is dominated by exposure to cold.

The skin of the hands:

itches;
blushes;
swelling;
cracks;
looks unkempt;
covered with pimples.

Chicky hands are an unsafe disease; it is necessary to urgently seek treatment, otherwise they may contribute to the development of:

allergies;
psoriasis;
scabies;
dermatitis and other skin diseases.

Psoriasis can occur as a complication of chicks

What do chicks look like and what are they like?

Chicks, as a rule, appear on the hands of children who play in the cold for a long time.

But in adults, cracks, slight swelling and redness may also appear on the hands, which are the first signs of pimples.

Such symptoms indicate that you should immediately take care of the condition of your hands.

If you notice these symptoms in yourself, but are not sure that these are really pimples, then you should consult a doctor - diseases such as psoriasis, allergies, scabies and various types of dermatitis can be hidden under the guise of pimples.
There may be small wounds on the surface of the hands , which should never be scratched , since pathogenic bacteria can enter the body through these capillary cuts.
If, after cleaning, you find that the skin on your palms has become tight, and the skin on your hands has begun to peel , know that this is also the first sign of chicks. If treatment is not started in a timely manner, then soon this kind of pimples will develop into more serious forms, and treatment will be difficult.

Consequences

At first glance, it seems that chicks are unpleasant, but not scary. This is true if you treat the skin of your hands in time. The fact is that this phenomenon causes a lot of unpleasant sensations, including itching. If you do not moisturize your hands, do not take a sufficiently large amount of vitamins and do not solve the problem promptly, there is a high probability of scratching your chicks until they bleed. What will this lead to? Open wounds are a direct route for germs and infections to enter the body.

Moreover, it is quite difficult to deal with the problem at this stage. And this is due to the fact that bloody wounds can be stopped using products that dry out, but since the skin around the wound is already dry, the use of such products is undesirable. So, treating wounds and dry skin will take you twice as much time and effort. That is why the problem needs to be treated in the first stages.

What other reasons for the appearance of chicks in children and adults are known?

Freezing. The most important reason for the appearance of chicks on the hands. If you went outside with wet hands or accidentally wet them right on the street, then be prepared for the fact that by the evening the skin of your hands will look like sandpaper.
Chemicals. The next reason for the appearance of chicks is too aggressive detergents and cleaning the apartment without gloves.
Lack of vitamins. If the skin is not nourished with vitamins, then the pimples can soon become so severe that only a strong anti-allergenic agent can cope with the itching.
Insufficient hydration. If you take care of your hands and don’t go outside without gloves, and someone else does the cleaning in the apartment, then pimples may also appear due to insufficient hydration of skin cells (i.e. due to a small amount of water consumed).
Construction works . During renovations in an apartment, hands are constantly exposed to various negative influences. Paint, putty, primer - all of this, when it comes into contact with the skin of your hands, destroys it and leads to the appearance of quite severe peeling and pimples.

Diagnostics

Due to the fact that the clinical picture is specific, problems with making a diagnosis, as a rule, do not arise. The dermatologist conducts a physical examination, ascertains the clinical picture and collects a personal history.

If necessary, the following diagnostic program may be additionally prescribed:

general and biochemical blood test;
general urine analysis;
allergen test;
immunological studies.

Based on the results of diagnostic studies, an accurate diagnosis will be made and the correct treatment will be prescribed.

First signs and symptoms

Chicks are easy to recognize. In winter, this phenomenon develops literally a couple of minutes after being in the cold without mittens or gloves.

What's happening:

the skin turns red;
there is a feeling of tightness;
cracks appear on the skin, a burning sensation is felt;
in severe cases, small transparent bubbles appear.

But the worst is yet to come. After returning home, the first thing people with chapped, frozen hands try to do is warm up under running warm water. This is where the real pain begins:

there is itching, severe tingling;
water that gets into mycocracks causes pain;
until the skin heals, every contact with water will cause pain and discomfort;
after water treatments, cracked skin begins to peel off, the cracks “open up” and become deeper;
Without timely treatment, wounds often become infected. So it’s not far from serious skin diseases.

Symptoms caused by vitamin deficiency, thinning of the epidermis, or constant contact with household chemicals are similar. The only difference is that microcracks, redness, dryness, and itching may not appear immediately, but after some time.
