How to treat peeling skin on the palms

The treatment for peeling skin on the palms should be based on the specific cause. Below are some common causes and their corresponding treatments: 1. **Dry environment**: Keep the skin on your hands moisturized by using a highly hydrating hand cream. Apply regularly, avoid frequent hand washing, and limit the use of harsh cleansers. 2. **Vitamin deficiency**: Maintain a balanced diet and consume more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C, such as carrots, animal liver, and fresh fruits. Vitamin supplements may be taken orally when necessary. 3. **Tinea manuum (fungal infection)**: Follow medical advice to use antifungal medications such as clotrimazole cream or naftifine hydrochloride ointment. Keep hands clean and dry at the same time. 4. **Dyshidrotic eczema**: Follow medical guidance for treatment with traditional Chinese medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Xiaofeng Zhiyang Granules, and use topical medications such as Fukangmei Ointment as an adjunct. 5. **Keratolysis exfoliativa (keratin desquamation)**: Use salicylic acid ointment, urea cream, or similar medications to soften or exfoliate the keratin layer and promote skin recovery. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for professional diagnosis and treatment.
