Hello, there are several possible causes of peeling skin on the fingers, including: deficiency of certain trace elements in the body; fungal infection of the hands (tinea manuum); dyshidrotic eczema; contact with irritating chemical substances; seasonal peeling; excessive mental stress; physical overexertion; or use of certain medications. When peeling occurs, it is important to maintain a positive mindset, wash your hands frequently, and keep your hands clean and dry. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
