Peeling of the soles without itching is commonly caused by fungal infection. Under a physician’s guidance, topical antifungal agents—such as ketoconazole or fluconazole cream—may be applied to treat the condition effectively. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting, well-ventilated shoes and socks is recommended. Washing feet daily with warm water can also help alleviate the symptom of non-itchy sole peeling.
