The skin on the part where I wear my smartwatch is peeling. Do you have any moisturizing products you would recommend?

 

I wear a smartwatch every day. Since I wear it while exercising and even while sleeping, it touches my wrist for quite a long time throughout the day. However, at some point, the slight marks left by the watch started to feel a bit itchy. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just due to sweat.

 

However, after a few days, I noticed that area became slightly red and felt a stinging sensation. It wasn't severe, so I continued wearing it, but recently, the skin in that area has started peeling off little by little. If I look closely, it feels like dead skin cells are flaking off, and after washing, that area feels unusually dry and sometimes stings slightly.

 

My skin isn't usually that extremely sensitive, so I'm not sure if it was irritated by sweat or friction. Since smartwatches are constantly in close contact with the skin, sweat or moisture can get trapped inside the watch or band, which could cause skin irritation.

 

So these days, I sometimes take off my smartwatch for a while and try to minimize irritation as much as possible, and after washing, on that area I have been applying Vaseline, but honestly, I don't really see much effect. It feels okay for a while after applying it, but as time passes, it feels like it gets dry again, and it doesn't seem to improve the peeling skin much either.

 

I'm a little worried that it might get worse if I leave it like this. I'm also concerned that if I keep wearing the watch, the irritation might be repeated.

 

Not Vaseline I'm wondering if I should try a different body lotion or cream that helps soothe or moisturize the skin. Would it get better if I used a separate moisturizing product? Or would it be better to just not wear a watch for a while? I specifically bought a smartwatch, so I'm really worried that the skin on my wrist might get worse.

    연고가 더 낫지않을까요. 비판텐 연고 발라보세요. 바세린은 보습만 되지만 비판텐은 피부재생에 효과적이라 더 도움될거에요

    헐 생각보다 심각하네요 ㅠㅠ 피부 자극이 되나봐요
    이 정도면 당분간은 착용을 안하시고 피부 연고를 발라주셔야 할 거 같아요 ㅠㅠ

      현재는 착용은 안하는 중이고 보습보다 연고를 바르는게 우선이겠어요 그럼.

    시카나 판테놀 성분이 들어간 크림이 회복에 좋아요.
    자극을 줄이려면 착용 부위를 자주 환기시켜 주세요.

    주무실때는 빼시는걸 추천드리고 바디로션 자주 발라주시는게 좋을듯합니다. 심할때는 연고랑 교차해서 쓰시는것도 방법인듯요.

      바디로션이랑 바세린을 발라도 별 효과가 없어서 연고바르는게 낫겠어요
