Finger tips peeling and weight loss in my teenage daughter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your physician: There are some in conditions that will cause peeling in the fingertips but most of them are not associated with weight loss. Unexplained weight loss, even a teenager, should be evaluated by your physician. There are just too many causes to speculate in this type of a forum. She should be evaluated. Good luck.
