What’s wrong with barbs?

       In the northern region, in the winter, the climate is dry, many people around the nail will grow barbs, but the growth of barbs is really due to the lack of vitamins circulated on the Internet? For your information, barbs are very common, but most of them are not related to vitamin deficiency, but are caused by physical friction or excessive hand washing.  The skin around our nails is different from the skin structure of other parts of the hand. The skin near the proximal end of the nail plate is called the nail fold, and this part of the skin lacks hair follicles and secretes very little sebum. In winter, when the skin is dry, many people often come into contact with hand soap, shower gel, detergent, etc. These washing and cleaning products contain alkaline substances that destroy this sebaceous film and aggravate the dryness of the skin, leading to the production of acne.  How to Prevent Acne Sebum is the best moisturizer for the human body, no matter what kind of hand cream can replace the efficacy of sebum, so experts suggest that when washing dishes and clothes, wearing latex gloves is a better choice to reduce the number of times you wash your hands and reduce the loss of sebum. But for the unavoidable contact with hand soap, detergent and other cleaning agents, you should apply hand cream in time to protect the moist cuticle.  Many people’s solution to barbs is to pull them out directly, which leaves a red, bloody mark and sometimes bleeding. In this regard, it is important not to pull or bite off the barb directly, as this can lead to skin tears and infections. The correct way is to neatly cut off the barbs with sharp and clean nail clippers and then massage the nails and knuckles with hand cream.  Finally, we would like to remind you again that simple nail barbs are basically not related to vitamin deficiency, so don’t blindly take a lot of vitamin supplements, and skin care is the most important thing to prevent nail barbs.
