What vitamins are good for children's peeling skin on hands?
Disease description:
My son's finger peeling is quite severe. A friend mentioned it might be due to vitamin deficiency, but I'm not sure which vitamin would help. Which vitamins should children take for peeling hands?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Children with peeling skin on their hands can generally eat more fruits such as pears, bananas, plums, as well as grains, noodles, and wheat. They can also consume more vitamin B2 and vitamin A. Fungal infections on a child's hands may lead to tinea manuum (hand fungus), resulting in skin peeling. If peeling is severe, vitamin A can be used to treat the condition.
