A member asked:

Why do you think my hands are peeling ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irritation: Could be exposure to chemicals or irritants. Could also be hand eczema. Use good moisturizer, avoid solvents, chemicals, and hot soapy water. If this persists consider using mid potency topical steroid.
