Hello,

I completely understand your concern for the illness of your mother and can get that she is having seasonal variation of skin. In my view it appears to be keratolysis of skin which is quite often seen in many persons due to dryness of weather as well as peeling of skin.

In my patients with such kind of problem I generally prescribe a moisturizing cream with emollients to apply for multiple times a day. I suggest you to ask your mother to apply the cream for atleast 8-10 times a day. It is the sole most important factor in reducing the peeling of skin. As the skin gets moistureized properly, so there is less chance of getting the peeling of the skin.

For te itching part is quite important to give an antihistamine tablet such as cetrizine for two time day. Make sure that a proper nutritious diet is gien to your mother for good renewal and strength of the skin.

My all best wishes for her healthy life.
