Why is my baby's finger peeling?
Disease description:
Recently, I noticed some peeling skin on my daughter's fingers, and sometimes they also itch. Why is my baby's finger skin peeling off?

There are several reasons why a baby's fingers may experience peeling skin, mainly including the following:
1. **Dry skin**: A baby's skin is more delicate and sensitive compared to adults, and less adaptable to environmental changes. In cold or dry weather, decreased moisture in the air can easily lead to dryness of the baby's hand skin, which may subsequently cause peeling.
2. **Lack of trace elements**: If a baby's daily diet is unbalanced, it may lead to deficiencies in trace elements such as zinc and selenium. These deficiencies can affect skin health and result in peeling fingers.
3. **Skin diseases**: Dermatological conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema, eczema, and hand fungus may also cause a baby's fingers to peel. These conditions are associated with factors like allergies and infections, and parents should monitor the condition closely and seek medical attention when necessary.
4. **External irritants**: Babies may come into contact with certain irritating substances in daily life, such as detergents or soap. These substances can damage the skin and lead to peeling.
If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
