Peeling skin on fingers and hands may only be temporary and may be caused by: excessive perspiration, skin infections, extremely dry skin, side effect of certain medications, or sunburn. Moisturizers, mild soaps and using warm water when washing your hands may help with dry skin. If your condition persists, it would be best to see your doctor for proper evaluation and management. Take care and keep us posted.
