Is Skin Peeling On The Hands And Feet After Exposure To UV Rays A Matter Of Concern?

I am a diabetic, and two weeks ago I got a jell manicure and pedicure, and was put under the ultra violet light too long. I noticed my hand and feet are pealing as if I have a sunburn. I am concerned, or is this something that I needs to see a doctor for?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice

I have gone through your complaints and it could be an allergic reaction to UV light. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and apply a moisturizing cream on the entire hands and feet 2-3 times during the day.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
