The peeling skin on the hands can be caused by several factors including environmental, medical, and lifestyle-related reasons. Common causes include frequent hand washing with soap (which removes protective oils), exposure to harsh weather like cold or dry air, sunburn from UV rays, contact with chemicals in soaps or cleaning products, and skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections. Vitamin imbalances and allergic reactions can also lead to peeling. Other causes may include excessive sweating, dehydration, or immune system disorders. Treating peeling skin often involves moisturizing, avoiding irritants, protecting hands from harsh weather, and in some cases, medical treatment for underlying conditions.
