Detailed Answer:
Hi.... thank you for consulting on Healthcare Magic.

I understand your concern. But you need not worry about it at all. It is the natural course of hand foot mouth disease. Once the disease is settling, within a period of 2 to 4 weeks, there will be skin peeling. This is what you are actually seeing here. It is the very early starting stage of skin peeling of the hands and feet. The skin peeling does not require any treatment. This will settle on its own. You need not worry about this at all.
