Why do fingers have inverted thorns?
There is a small piece of skin next to the nails that has flipped up, also known as nail inverted thorns. The main reason is because the skin is dry and dehydrated, causing the proximal or lateral edges of nail folds to dry and crack up. The nail skin is slightly different from other skin in the hand, lacking hair follicles, thin, and without skin lines or sebaceous glands. Therefore, in addition to insufficient moisturizing, the following habits can stimulate finger skin and easily cause skin cracking :
1. It is necessary to frequently come into contact with irritating materials, such as washing dishes, clothes, etc
2. Regularly perform manicures and scrape off the skin of the nails
3. Fingers often experience friction, such as playing ball games
4. Frequent hand washing can lead to excessive removal of grease on the surface of the stratum corneum, resulting in the loss of protection and detachment of the stratum corneum

Small inverted thorns can cause great harm
"" Inverted thorns" are only superficial skin injuries, which are not sufficient. However, if not handled properly, such as when pulling out inverted thorns in the wrong direction, they will tear larger and deeper, causing deep skin damage. The hand is the part of the human body that comes into contact with external objects the most every day. Although the wound of inverted thorns is small, it also opens the door for bacterial invasion. Once infected, it may cause paronychia and subungual damage Abscess or purulent fingertip inflammation. Some require nail removal, while others require incision and drainage of pus. In severe cases, osteomyelitis may occur. If bacteria spread throughout the body through the bloodstream, it may cause sepsis. Some people pay the price of amputation for this, although it is rare, it cannot be avoided

Tips for preventing backstabbing
Generally, backstabbing can be eliminated through normal metabolism. Do not forcefully tear it off, otherwise it will not only leave an opening and cause new backstabbing, but also infect bacteria and cause inflammation and redness. To prevent backstabbing, it is necessary to pay attention to protecting the skin of the hand and supplementing more beneficial vitamins for the skin.
1. Vaseline hand protection, pay attention to the edges of the nails
Most people only apply hand cream extensively on their hands
Ignoring the edges of the fingers, the hand moisturizer should be carefully applied to the nails and fingertips. Vaseline can also be applied to the edges of the nails to enhance its moisturizing effect
2. When in contact with irritating materials, gloves should be worn.
Detergents, clothes, etc. contain irritating substances, and can also carry excessive amounts of hand grease. When washing dishes or clothes, gloves should be worn to isolate irritating substances.
3. Supplementing vitamins
Lack of vitamins B2, B6, etc. can lead to seborrheic dermatitis and dry lip cracking, while lack of vitamin C can lead to poor wound healing and easy cracking.
. Eating more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins is beneficial for skin health and reduces the occurrence of thorns
4. Use a sharp and clean nail clipper to remove the barbs.
Tearing the barbs with your mouth and hands cannot clean them completely. Not only does it hurt, but it also causes bleeding and infection.
. You should use a sharp nail clipper to cut off the root of the barb and let it heal on its own
