Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Peeling of the skin on the hands may result from various underlying causes. It could be due to a deficiency in certain vitamins, such as vitamin A and E. Additionally, fungal infections are common triggers, especially when the skin barrier is compromised, allowing fungi to invade and cause skin problems. Allergic reactions may also contribute to hand peeling, such as sensitivities to specific contact substances. To obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan, it is recommended to visit the dermatology department of a reputable hospital for a thorough examination. Under medical guidance, if a vitamin deficiency is confirmed, supplementation with appropriate vitamin medications may be prescribed; if the condition is caused by a fungal infection, antifungal medications can be used for effective treatment.
