Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is not a known side effect of this medication but persons respond differently to medication. It can cause easy bruising in some persons, if there was bruising, then peeling can sometimes occur as a result. If you notice any effects that you cannot tolerate, then you speak to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
