Peeling skin on the hands may result from inflammatory skin disorders or fungal infections, or it could be caused by dyshidrotic eczema or deficiencies in trace elements. Additionally, contact with chemical substances—such as soaps—cannot be ruled out as a potential cause. Individuals experiencing hand peeling should visit a reputable local hospital for a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
