After going through your query I can say mostly it's related to diabetes. In a diabetes patient, some kind of skin infection occurs frequently.
That cause peeling off the skin. don't worry. control your diabetes and have some antibiotics plus antifungal drugs. Also, wear cotton cloth and avoid wetting of the area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
