What Causes Peeling Of Skin On Palm And Fingers?

I have peeling of the skin on the palm of my hands and fingers... It is not painful nor do I have blistering. There has been no change in products that I use or any medications. This has happened before and it went away as quickly as it started, however this time it seems to be lasting much longer and the beds of my fingertips feel very dry and are scored like when one spends too much time in the water.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Peeling of skin on palm and fingers could be due to vitamin B complex or iron deficiency.
Kindly take Iron Capsules and B-complex capsules once a day for one month. Also take Tablet. Albendazole for deworming. Apply moisturizer cream or lotion to hands at bedtime.
Your symptoms should gradually improve and should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
Wish you speedy recovery.
