The main causes of hand peeling include the following:
1. Vitamin deficiency in the body can lead to hand peeling; supplementation with appropriate vitamins may help resolve this condition.
2. Peeling may also occur during seasonal transitions and typically does not require specific treatment.
3. If peeling develops after contact with a particular substance—especially when accompanied by itching or papules—it is likely contact dermatitis.
