What causes peeling skin on a child's fingers?

Peeling fingers in children may be caused by several factors: 1. Biting fingers: Some children may bite or gnaw their fingers, which can cause local irritation and lead to peeling skin. 2. Dry skin: During autumn and winter, skin may become dry and dehydrated. Without timely protection, peeling fingers may occur. 3. Skin allergy: If the weather is excessively humid or the child comes into contact with certain allergens, an allergic reaction may occur, potentially leading to peeling skin on the fingers. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: A lack of trace elements and vitamins, such as zinc, iron, vitamin E, vitamin A, or vitamin C, may cause peeling skin or abnormal keratinization on the hands. 5. Underlying diseases: If children suffer from certain skin conditions, such as desquamative keratolysis, hand fungus, dyshidrotic eczema, or general eczema, peeling fingers may also occur.
