Skin Peeling On Hands, Spreading From Thumbs To Palms, Friend Also Experiencing The Same. What Could Be The Cause?
my hands started peeling about a week ago. they don t itch or hurt, but it is spreading from my thumbs to my other fingers and all over my palms. i went to a doctor and they told me it was just a reaction from the soap i was using, but my friends hands are now peeling also that i was in contact with... i don t know if it s just a coincidence or it isn t just a reaction to soap..
You are suffering from a condition called Keratolysis exfoliativa. you need to use keratolytics like urea or salicylic acid and oral vitamin A.
Hope this helps
