Fingernails and toenails
Certain areas of the skin are more prone to inflammatory processes than others.
Problems can occur especially in areas with many glands and hairs. Heavy sweating—particularly in areas where skin touches or rubs against skin—is also an important factor. This can also be promoted by severe overweight. Nevertheless, the phenomenon occurs in many other everyday situations, for example due to work and lifestyle habits or sports.
These areas should be examined more closely:
An increased risk of inflammatory skin processes includes:
Excessive personal hygiene
Human skin has a natural protective layer with a pH value of around 5.7. The skin needs this slightly acidic film on the outermost layer for self-protection to prevent harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi from entering the skin. Incorrect care or excessive use of disinfectant changes the pH value and damages and impairs the skin’s acid mantle. This makes it easier for pathogens that cause inflammation to penetrate the skin.
Shaving
When shaving, the blades of a razor usually also injure parts of the outermost layer of skin. This creates tiny wounds that are not always visible to the naked eye. These wounds allow bacteria or germs to enter, which can cause skin inflammation.
Too little movement
Certain areas of skin are often put under particular strain when, due to too little movement, your body weight rests on them continuously. This is usually related to a person’s limited mobility due to old age or illness. Because of this continuous pressure, these areas are particularly susceptible to skin inflammation.
Friction on the skin
Friction on the skin—for example due to sporting activities that continuously require the same movement sequence—can damage the outermost layer of skin or even rub it off completely in places. This makes it easier for inflammation-causing fungi, bacteria or viruses to penetrate the skin.
Weakened immune system, illnesses (e.g. diabetes)
A weakened immune system, for example due to chronic pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, promotes skin inflammation. People with diabetes often suffer from poor blood circulation in the skin or very dry areas of skin; this can also promote the development of inflammatory, purulent skin conditions.
Stress and an unhealthy lifestyle
Stress and an unhealthy lifestyle, e.g. alcohol, cigarettes and an unhealthy diet, have been proven to impair a person’s immune system. As a result, the body is weakened and can no longer adequately fight pathogens that cause inflammation that it would otherwise be able to withstand.
