Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Peeling Of Skin In Fingertips And Toes Suggest?
MY 11/2 year old son has recently had peeling skin on his fingertips and tips of toes. He has no other symptoms as far as i can tell. I ve been reading that he could have strep throat? what do you think? it s pretty bad peeling. It started on all toes and fingers at the same time.
Peeling of skin is likely to be due to streptococcus infection. Peeling of skin can be due to primary skin pathology. I suggest you to consult your skin specialist for clinical assessment, diagnosis and thus management.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
