What Causes Skin Peeling On Hands And Feet Of A Child?
my 14 year old son has skin peeling on his hands and feet. especially between his toes. He says it doesnt itch. It is not red or irritated yet. He said it has been going on for a couple of weeks before I noticed. Do you recommend a cream or is this something serious. He is in football and my concern is also germs from the locker room...could he have caught something.

Hi...by what you quote I feel that your son might be having a post viral skin peeling or dry skin (idiopathic). I suggest using emollient ointment or creams for this. If still not better - I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly.
