Peeling hands can happen because of:
Dry skin: Skin can peel when it's too dry, especially in cold or dry weather.
Allergies: Some soaps, lotions, or cleaning products might cause an allergy, leading to peeling.
Eczema: This causes dry, itchy, and peeling skin.
Psoriasis: A condition where skin cells build up and cause peeling.
Infections: Fungal or other skin infections can make skin peel.
Sunburn: Skin can peel after being in the sun too long.
Too much washing: Washing hands a lot or using strong soaps can make skin peel.
To help, use a gentle moisturizer and avoid harsh chemicals. If it doesn’t improve, you can visit Irvine Skin for help.

Lamellar Dyshidrosis
Hand eczema can be caused by alergic contact dermatitis or irritant dermatitis to items or products that are frequently handled. Or it may be a manifestation of atopic dermatitis. Because the hands are constantly coming in contact with the world, and nowadays with constant Corona-related hand washing, the use of hand sanitizers and disinfecting agents, hand irritation and eczema is being seen more frequently in my practice. In most case, if it persists, it needs to be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist.
