A member asked:

Peeling finger tips of a 10 month old baby..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds OK: Usually caused by a virus or from finger/thumb sucking. In rare cases it can be from a serious bacteria illness but that would accompany fever or other symptoms. If it's peeling alone, probably not a problem.
