What Causes Skin Peeling And Dryness On Hands And Bumps On Feet?
My son has what looks like athletes foot, but on his hands. HIs palms are cracked, peeling and dry;partially becausse of constantly itching the palms. His skin connecting his fingers is inflamed and peeling. Hands started with bumps and itchyness, and his feet had the same bumps, but not as itchy. He says his hands are itchy and dry, but his feet only showed the bumps; not the dryness or itchyness. What are the most likely causes of this condition

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to a fungal infection.
I suggest using an anti fungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest using an anti fungal medication such as Fluconazole 150 mg daily for three days.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
