Maybe you need to exfoliate and moisturize a little more? If you post in the acne/skin disorders section instead of the toddler section, you will surely get more answers.

Curel makes some great products for moisturizing feet and hands. I have been using it for only a week, and have been amazed.

I have the exact same thing.
it is not something that just needs moisturizers.
It is something weird where large, thick pieces of skin peel off leaving new pink skin underneath.

about a week before the peeling began, my fingertips became sensitive to temperature. then the skin on my fingertips began to thicken and feel thick. it was very weird. then a few days later large chunks of thick skin began to peel back. the skin underneath did not hurt. certain areas only peel as well, not my whole hand or foot.

i have a friend with similar symptoms and it has to do with injuring her spleen and red blood cells....

I would go to the dermatologist and get it checked out. I had the same problems and i went to a family dr., they treated me for eczema, when it was psoriasis. the psoriasis got so bad that i couldn't hold my children or walk on my own 2 feet for almost a year. But a dermatologist will know exactly what it is.

this could be a possibility, but i haven't had pain and itchyness. and it hasn't been dry flaking either. more of a moist peeling.

I DO need to go to the doctor!

Certain antibiotics will cause this. Look up the side effects of any antibiotics you took recently and see if "exfoliation" is listed among them.

Pure alove vera is wonderful on feet and hands, or anywhere for that matter. I would try using a pumice stone in the shower on your feet (maybe too rough on hands), pat dry your hands and feet, and apply aloe.

Im 13 yrs old I have red bumps that itch bad on my hand & fingers and the skin is also peeling.I had this a couple of months ago & the doc. was treating it as ring worm.It never really went away I went back he sent me to a derm. They dont know there running tests but in the mean time I dont know what to do . should I keep it covered or what.

i have the same description as mikeweng's. i've had a spleen sometime end of last year and when i was admitted to the hospital(not because of thr spleen), i did remembered he mention about my white blood cells which is more than my red blood cells.. i think i do need to go and see the doctor, but am scared

okay everybody=My 3 yr old has this problem, only on his fingertips, dry flaking off, new red also dry skin underneath and cracking at the last bend/joint --Doc gave me some type of cortaid cream and prescribed anxiety med to help the itching,(which I haven't seen him itch)'The info pamplet with this med is AWFUL side effects-possible hallucinations? dizzyness? I am not comfortable with the diagnosis of stress-don't miss understand me-he was a whirlwind baby brother who messes with his toys and upsets him, but to need medication?

My fingertip problem started from using a harsh dish washing detergent, Dawn. Fingertip skin becomes hardens and irritates, and then is flaky and peeling from the dryness and scratching. What I do is apply Vaseline (hand & finger product) before sleeping, which softens and moisturizes my finger tips, and then I apply a layer of petroleum jelly a minute afterwards to keep it locked in. I noticed some moisturizers that contain the current condition of the skin is not the best solution; it needs to change by softening and moisturizing it.
