Adult hand peeling may be due to vitamin deficiency, commonly due to vitamin A. However, other causes cannot be ruled out, such as physiological factors such as skin dehydration, or diseases such as ringworm and exfoliative keratolysis.
1. Lack of vitamin A: Vitamin A has a protective effect on the stratum corneum of the skin. If the adult body lacks vitamin A, there may be symptoms of skin peeling and dryness, which may lead to peeling of the hands.
2. Physiological factors: If the daily water intake is low, it will lead to dehydration of the skin, which may cause dry and flaky hands, thus resulting in the phenomenon of hand peeling.
3. Ringworm: the cause of the disease is mainly related to dermatophyte infection, in addition, excessive sweating, low immunity and other reasons can also induce the disease. The patient’s palms or fingers will appear blisters, dryness, flaking and other symptoms, accompanied by itching.
4. Exfoliative Keratolysis: the cause of the disease is not clear, may be related to emotions, hyperhidrosis and other factors. Patients will appear locally scaly white dots, gradually expand over time, and eventually form peelable scales, thus causing adult hand peeling.
There are many causes of adult hand peeling, and it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination to clarify the cause of the disease.
