Fingerzwischenräume

Fingerzwischenräume, also known as interdigital spaces, are the narrow areas located between the fingers. These spaces are a natural anatomical feature of the human hand and play a role in the hand's overall function and dexterity. The skin in these areas is typically thinner and more sensitive compared to the rest of the hand.

Hygiene is an important consideration for fingerzwischenräume. Due to their location and the way hands are used, these spaces can easily accumulate dirt, sweat, and other residues. Regular and thorough washing of the hands, paying attention to cleaning between the fingers, is essential for maintaining good hygiene and preventing potential skin irritations or infections.

The interdigital spaces can be affected by various skin conditions. Fungal infections, such as athlete's foot which can sometimes extend to the hands, or bacterial infections can occur in these moist and sometimes occluded areas. Eczema and psoriasis are other dermatological conditions that can manifest or be exacerbated in the fingerzwischenräume. Certain occupations or activities may also lead to increased friction or irritation in these areas, potentially causing discomfort or skin breakdown.
