In the human body, nature contains a multitude of reflexes that, under the influence of certain conditions, appear on the body: for example, when the temperature is hot, the skin turns red, and at a cold temperature, many can observe the so-called "goose-skin", when the hairs form and appear small pimples that disappear if warmed up. However, it also happens that these pimples do not disappear, and become a constant companion of man.
Causes of goosebumps in the hands
If goosebumps appeared on the hands, it means that the body has launched a pilomotor reflex - the peripheral nerves that come from the spinal cord were stimulated, and since they are responsible for contracting the smooth muscles of the hair follicles, the latter rise, and the effect of the pimples is created.
Initially, this reflex was necessary to a man when he had a thick coat: on the surface of the skin, heat was better preserved if the hairs were raised. Now a person has a rudimentary reflex that does not save from the cold.
In some cases, goosebumps may persist regardless of temperature, and this is considered a pathology. In medicine and cosmetology, this phenomenon is called follicular hyperkeratosis, when on the skin over time, keratinization is formed, and because of it, in turn, the ducts of the follicles are clogged, and small saccules are formed.
Among the main causes of gooseflesh, doctors distinguish three:
- Lack of vitamin A.
- Lack of vitamin C.
- Hereditary factor.
Most often goosebumps arises on the elbows and hands, and much less often on the remaining parts of the body.
Today it is believed that it is impossible to be cured for good. However, it is quite possible to eliminate the cosmetic defect.
How to get rid of goosebumps?
Treatment of gooseflesh on the hands should be complex, and directed to external and internal effects. As in the case of many other diseases, treatment can be carried out both with the help of official medicine, and folk.
Medical methods from goosebumps
Today, doctors adhere to the view that externally goose should be treated when the body has enough vitamins and trace elements. To adjust their balance, doctors prescribe patients multivitamin complexes or individual vitamins. In the second case, you should start taking A and E first - these vitamins are digested only in a complex. Then vitamin C.
Also, pay attention to your diet, which should be high-grade - contain both carbohydrates, and fats and proteins. After the body of vitamins began to replenish in the body, cosmetic procedures can be started.
The maximum effect, as a rule, is achieved with the help of peelings based on fruit acids. They do not hurt the skin, but they contribute to renewal, and therefore the appearance of the skin is markedly improved.
Folk methods from goosebumps
Together with cosmetic and medical methods, you can start treating goosebumps at home. For this, baths and saunas are perfectly suited - in this case the muscles relax, the pores are opened, and the skin is leveled. However, baths and saunas are allowed only for people with a healthy cardiovascular system, and therefore those who can not visit them can try to steam out the affected areas of the skin in the bathroom or locally, using compresses.
Also for a site with goose-pimples it is possible to make a cream: in a basis of any humidifying or wetting or nutritious cream for the face it is necessary to add an olive oil - no more than 1 tsp and 10 drops of liquid vitamins A and E. The resulting cream should be rubbed into the skin every morning and evening.
