Skin peeling happens when the outermost layer of skin sheds. The main reasons for skin peeling include dry skin, sunburn, contact dermatitis (allergic reaction to something on the skin), irritation from skincare products, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, fungal infections, and underlying health issues such as vitamin deficiencies or immune disorders. Environmental factors like cold weather, dry air, frequent handwashing with harsh soaps, and exposure to chemicals can also cause peeling. Sometimes, skin peeling is your skin's natural response to damage and healing. If peeling is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like pain or redness, it is advisable to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
