A few things: Peeling of the skin can be seen in athlete's foot, eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, among other things. If using skin emollients do not help, you might try an antifungal cream such as Lamisil (terbinafine) at. If that does not work, try a topical steroid cream. It might be faster to see a podiatrist. With a proper diagnosis, you can start the appropriate treatment sooner.
