Pulpitis or plantar dermatosis
Pulpitis is the localization of dermatitis in the pulps of the fingers or toes, resulting in longitudinal fissure wounds of the pulps which are sometimes very painful and uncomfortable.
Causes of pulpites
Pulpitis is often aggravated by the environment: cold, humidity, handling of caustic household products, handling of plants (tulip, hyacinth, narcissus, etc.) or caustic foods (tomato, garlic, shellfish, etc.)
The doctor looks for a cause to treat, among which we can quote:

Opinia medicului nostru
Pulpitis is a very common problem and recurs in winter especially Once the cause has been found (which is not always easy) and treated, it is imperative to continue the protection of water and caustic products because pulpitis tends to recur at the slightest trauma to the skin. While waiting for the doctor’s appointment, you can find second-skin type dressings in pharmacies to relieve the cracks that protect against water, relieve and help healing.
