6. What causes peeling of the palms?

The cause of peeling palms is still unclear, but because it is often accompanied by excessive sweating of the palms, some people believe that it is related to poor sweating. Some people also believe that it is related to fungal infections in other parts of the human body, such as tinea manuum and pedis. This peeling phenomenon will occur on the palms of patients' hands in late spring, summer and autumn every year when the temperature is high and the humidity is high. This is because the stratum corneum of the epidermis separates from the underlying epidermis.

At first, some small white spots appear on the palms, and then gradually expand to form dried blisters of varying sizes. A layer of whitish stratum corneum appears on the surface, which can naturally break and fall off like a layer of translucent thin paper. If it continues to fall off, what will be left behind is a large area of ​​pink new growth that looks like a map. If you tear it off without waiting for it to fall off naturally, bleeding and pain will occur. In addition to the palms, the same peeling can also occur on the toes.
