Is generating hangnail due to lack of vitamins?

It is wrong to say that "generate hangnail is because of the lack of vitamins". At present, there is no medical evidence to prove that the hangnail is related to the lack of nutrition or vitamin level. The main reason for the cause of hangnail is that the skin barrier function is damaged. Due to the lack of sebaceous glands in hand skin, and a complex environment (such as frequently washing or contacting chemicals), its sebum film itself is relatively fragile, and the stratum corneum is easily damaged , Resulting in the formation of hangnail . There is no need to detect vitamin levels due to generate hangnail . The key to preventing the hangnail is to keep the skin's skin moisturizing, use the hand cream with lipid ingredients, and reduce the frequent friction and water of the hand. If the hangnail is accompanied by other skin problems, such as erythema, itching, it may be related to skin diseases. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

关于“长倒刺是因为缺乏维生素”的说法是错误的，目前没有任何医学证据证明倒刺与营养缺乏或维生素水平有关。产生倒刺主要原因是皮肤屏障功能受损，手部皮肤由于缺乏皮脂腺，且需要接触复杂的环境（如频繁洗手或者
接触化学品)，它的皮脂膜本身就比较容易脆弱，角质层容易受损，导致倒刺的形成。没必要因长倒刺而检测维生素水平。预防倒刺的关键在于保持手部皮肤的滋润，使用含脂质成分的护手霜，并减少手部频繁摩擦和浸水。如果倒刺伴随其他皮肤问题，如红斑、瘙痒等，可能与皮肤疾病有关，建议及时就医。
