If peeling feet are caused by thickened stratum corneum or dryness, the ingredients in Zuguang Powder can help soften the keratin and promote exfoliation of the stratum corneum, thereby relieving symptoms of dry and peeling skin on the feet. However, if foot peeling is due to conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema or erosive tinea pedis, especially when accompanied by symptoms like cracking, ulcers, or erosion, Zuguang Powder is generally not recommended, as it may worsen skin damage.
