Should I Peel Off Peeling Skin on My Feet?

1. Generally, peeling skin on the feet should not be torn off, as it may cause adverse effects.

2. Peeling skin on the feet can be caused by various reasons, such as dry skin, chronic eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, athlete's foot, etc. It should generally not be torn off because tearing it off can easily damage the skin's protective barrier, potentially making it more susceptible to bacterial invasion, increasing the risk of infection, and potentially leading to localized skin damage, bleeding, pain, and other symptoms.

3. Improvements and treatments for peeling skin on the feet can be made according to the underlying cause. For example, if caused by dry skin, it can be improved by appropriately applying moisturizing lotion. For chronic eczema, medications such as Mometasone Furoate Cream, Halometasone Cream, and Compound Dexamethasone Acetate Cream can be used under medical guidance. Patients with dyshidrotic eczema can use Triamcinolone Acetonide Acetate Cream, Tacrolimus Ointment, and Pimecrolimus Cream as prescribed. Athlete's foot can be treated with Clotrimazole Cream, Compound Ketoconazole Cream, Terbinafine Hydrochloride Cream, and other medications.

4. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the feet by soaking them in warm water daily and frequently changing and washing shoes and socks.
