Small bumps and peeling skin on the hands may be caused by various factors, including skin conditions such as eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, and hand fungus. Eczema is often triggered by allergies or genetic predisposition and is characterized by red papules, possibly accompanied by peeling and itching. Dyshidrotic eczema is frequently associated with localized allergies or mental stress, commonly occurring in summer, and presents as small blisters that peel after rupture. Hand fungus is caused by fungal infection, leading to damage of the skin tissue on the hands and resulting in bumps and peeling. In addition, contact dermatitis may also cause similar symptoms. When such conditions occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation to determine the cause and implement targeted treatment measures.
