A member asked:
My skin on my lower leg is peeling after a treated case of cellulitis. i took keflex 14 days and its been about 3days since ending rx and skin is peeling as though it was sunburned. is using palmers for dry skin ok to use. will this peeling go on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The peeling is harmless and probably will stop in a few days. It's nothing to worry about. (Palmer's cream might not help much, but it isn't harmful, so feel free to use it.)
