peeling skin
hi there, about 2 weeks ago my 5 year old got a staph skin infection Scalded Skin Syndrome, she got the toxin which
causes your epidermis and dermis to seperate and therfore any friction on the skin would cause an open wound that and red rash with blisters, but we got it early and the blisters had no weeping or fluid in them and when burst her skin peeled as if sunburned on her trunk, underarms, groin, neck and cheeks the peeling went on and has finally just on her feet and hands, but her hands are peeling quite alot and not deep but heaps everyday and i am thinking if it keeps going wiil she run out of skin and get to the flesh, how fast does it grow back?. doctor has said it is possible that after symptom of strep infection is scarlet fever ( she has no fever only the peeling hands and feet) otherwise she is well, just doesnt seem to be slowing up so im bit worried.

You must be most thankful to providence that your child has come out of this.These conditions are treated like burns and it may take quite sometime for recovery.
yes i do realise how lucky we are that she never got those burn like wounds, but can u tell me her peeling hands should i worry that they peel so much eveyday, and how fast does the skin grow back?
Generally it takes 3 weeks from basal layer to top in normal conditions.It may be little more for this child.Wishing speedy recovery.Jagesh
