The following are two primary causes of hand peeling in summer:
1. Fungal infection of the hands: Humid and warm weather during summer promotes fungal growth, leading to symptoms such as peeling and itching.
2. Eczema or allergic contact dermatitis: These conditions may be triggered by factors including certain foods, organic solvents, highly alkaline laundry detergents, or other allergens.
