What should I do if my hands are peeling off from touching cement?

Peeling of the hands in contact with cement needs to stop further contact with cement, while cleaning the hands of the residual cement content, and if the symptoms are serious, medication is needed. As cement is an alkaline substance, when the patient’s skin comes into excessive contact with cement, it may cause damage to the mucous membrane of the hand and peeling of the skin. First of all, it is necessary to avoid further contact with cement, and at the same time, use running water to rinse the injured area extensively to remove the residual cement content from the hands. If the patient’s symptoms are severe, topical glucocorticoid drugs, such as halometasone and dexamethasone, or oral antihistamines, such as loratadine and cetirizine, can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Most patients can improve the symptoms of the disease after drug treatment. If the patient has peeling skin after touching cement, he should go to a regular hospital and take relevant treatment measures under the guidance of the doctor. In daily life, it is necessary to keep the skin of the hands clean and clean, and avoid excessive scratching of the skin.
