What causes peeling of the palms?

The palms are a part that people easily overlook because they have no substantial meaning to people. However, from a functional point of view, the palms are an indispensable functional component. However, many people have problems with their palms. For example, peeling palms have troubled countless people. Let's take a look at the causes of peeling palms.

1. Normal peeling phenomenon

Many normal people experience hand peeling in the second half of the year, more often in early autumn, especially after contact with soap or laundry detergent. Peeling usually starts from the fingers and slowly extends to the entire palm. Sometimes only the fingers peel, and after peeling off the surface layer of skin, the hands return to their original state, without pain or itching, and without inflammation. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to make a fuss. In daily life, you should pay attention to avoiding contact with irritating chemicals such as soap and laundry detergent, and take vitamin C at the same time.

2. Dry temperature causes peeling

Dry temperature is also one of the reasons for peeling hands. For example, in winter, the temperature is cold and dry. If you don’t take good care of your hands, they are prone to dehydration and dead skin. It is recommended to drink more boiled water in winter and use some hand cream to care for your hands.

3. Lack of vitamins

Lack of vitamins is also one of the reasons for peeling hands. In daily life, people who like to eat meat and don’t like vegetables are more likely to have peeling hands. The main reason is the lack of vitamin B. Therefore, it is recommended to eat more vegetables in daily life.

4. Ringworm

The patient first experienced peeling on one hand, which then spread to both hands and feet. The peeling in this case is caused by tinea manuum. The main symptoms are erythema and itching on the palms.
