1, it is very normal to itch your hands after peeling yam, because yam contains soap keratin, which is irritating to the skin and can cause itchy skin. Therefore, when peeling yam, we can wear gloves to avoid direct contact between hand skin and yam mucus, so that we won't feel itchy.

2. Although gloves are put on, there may still be some itching, because these saponins have not been destroyed. At this time, we can scald the yam in boiling water. After boiling at high temperature, we can directly destroy the saponin in the yam. Next, peel off the yam with a knife without feeling itchy.

Method for quickly relieve itching of yam skin itch

1, wash your hands with vinegar

If you don't take the above two ways to prevent it, peeling the yam directly with your hands will lead to the itching of your hands. At this time, you can put a basin of water in the washbasin, add some vinegar, and soak your hands in it, so as to destroy the soap horniness of the yam and have the effect of relieving itching.

If you use vinegar to wash your hands, but the antipruritic effect is not obvious, you can use white wine and soap to wash your hands together. Rub the white wine on your hands first, and it will feel cool and let it evaporate freely. Then, apply the soap on your hands, rub it gently, and then rinse off the soap with clear water, which can play an antipruritic role.
