What Causes Peeling Of Skin From Feet And Elbow?
Yes, my husband is 53 years old. He has had kidney stones and some sort of bacterial infection in his right elbow and legs. He has been on several antibiotics over the past few months, and a procedure to bust up the kidney stones. Last night I noticed that the skin on his feet was peeling, not flaking, but peeling and also the skin on his right elbow. Is this from the kidney stones or perhaps the antibiotics he was taking.

Hello,
I read your history and according to me it is not related to either the stones or antibiotics. It is just an allergic condition. I'd suggest application of moisturizing hand creams containing urea or lactic acid, and mild steroid like hydrocotisone at night. Avoid harsh soaps to wash hands and avoid gloves. This should provide relief to your husband.
