Health Tip: Why Is My Skin Peeling?
By LadyLively on March 20, 2015
Peeling skin can occur due to sunburn, dry skin or a host of health conditions.
The Mayo Clinic explains these possible causes:
- Having an allergic reaction to things such as latex, detergent or food.
- Developing a bacterial infection, such as a staph; or fungal infection, such as ringworm, athlete’s foot or jock itch.
- Having an immune system disorder, such as toxic shock syndrome.
- Having some types of cancer, such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
