Question 1

Accepted Answer

If severe.: Severe cases can cause some skn peeling.  Need to see dermatology to rule out other causes.

Question 2

skin peeling excessively in the palms of my hands?  is it a type of eczema?

Accepted Answer

Can be: It could also just be dry skin. The fact it is excessive kind of implies to me that you are unable to control the condition to your liking. Therefore, i wold recommend a visit to the dermatologist who likely will be able to help solve your problem or keep it at bay and minimize it. (sometimes if hands exposed to excess water like when doing dishes or harsh checmical this can also occur.).

Question 3

suffering from a typical type of  eczema from 6-7 months.only skin under fingertips peeling out and feeling very itchy at that area.

Accepted Answer

Hand Dermatitis: If an over the counter Hydrocortisone cream isn't helping and you have been moisturizing aggressively, you may want to see your dermatologist.  Hand dermatitis usually requires the use of a higher potency steroid than one you can get over the counter in addition to aggressive use of emollients.  Get checked out to see what is actually going on.  Best of luck!

Question 5

my husband has very swollen feet with burning, peeling skin he has a history of eczema and they hurt to move. it doesn't itch. is this a foot fungus?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: If his feet are very swollen this can cause cracks in the skin and cause the skin to blister or peel. This could be due to eczema or just from the swelling. They can be painful due to the skin being broken to move them. Best to have them checked out, he may need a steroid cream, compression, or it could be a fungal infection, but the only way to know would be to have them looked at.

Question 7

during this summer, 2 days ago. i got eczema. my skin is dry & peeling. & i have brown spots on my face. how do i get rid of it...please help.

Accepted Answer

Who said Eczema: Make sure you have a dermatologist diagnose you. Brown spots on face can be sun damage or melasma to name a few. Dry peeling skin may be contact dermatitis, and not necessarily eczema. Sun damage can cause dry peeling skin. Get a good moisturizing sunscreen and a see a dermatologist.

Question 8

my grandson, tyre, 3 months old, has eczema on his cheeks very bad! very red, skin peeling, and irritated! what can i do!

Accepted Answer

Atopic eczema: Most commonly, this turns out to be atopic eczema. Treatment usually involves mild corticosteroid creams (children are more sensitive to steroids than adults), medicated baths, and various skin emolliating techniques. Most kids outgrow it, but how long that takes varies considerably. A dermatologist will make a precise diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan to your child's specific situation.

Question 9

avoid any other products, make up etc, for at least a week.  If not improved, see a dermatologist.

Question 10

i have skin peeling in one armpit. it started with extreme itchiness and now peels daily. i have nummular eczema on my torso. could this be the same?

Accepted Answer

Likely have ezcema: This skin condition could be another type of ezcema like you have on your torso. It is unusual that this is only occuring in one armpit and not the other.  I would be useful for a doctor to examine the rash.  You could also try an OTC steroid cream and see if it goes away. If not then go see the doctor.
