Disease description:
I am an 18-year-old female, and my fingers often peel. I would like to ask, what causes peeling of the fingers?

Peeling fingers can be caused by various factors, commonly including:
1. Frequent hand washing: This may be related to regularly washing hands with soap. Not properly protecting the hands after frequent washing may lead to persistent peeling of the fingers.
2. Unhealthy habits: Long-term finger sucking, picking at the skin around the fingers, or picking at the edges of the nails and other bad habits may also cause finger peeling.
3. Skin irritation or injury: Prolonged contact with chemical raw materials, organic solvents, or other irritating substances may irritate the finger skin and cause allergic reactions, resulting in persistent finger peeling.
4. Skin diseases of the hands: Conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema, eczema, hand fungus, or exfoliative keratolysis may cause persistent peeling of the fingers.
5. Vitamin deficiency: Long-term deficiency of vitamin A in the body may lead to dry, peeling skin on the fingers.
