Why are the palms peeling?

Normal human skin can be divided into three parts: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The outermost layer is the epidermis, which is divided into five layers, the most superficial layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum can fall off naturally. For example, when you comb your hair or scratch your skin, white scales often fall off. These scales are the shed keratin. The skin that falls off the palms is also shed keratin like the scales mentioned above, so it is called "exfoliative keratolysis" in medicine. This peeling is a physiological phenomenon that does not affect physical health, and patients do not need to be overly nervous.

Palm peeling is similar to the "goose palm wind" in traditional Chinese medicine.
