Skin Peeling Causes: Burns, Conditions, and Infections
Peeling skin can happen for a number of reasons, including burns, certain medical conditions and infections, and reactions to irritants or medications.
Sunburn
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can overwhelm the body's defenses, causing it to react with a sunburn. First-degree sunburns affect only the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin). Second-degree sunburns go deeper to the dermis, and damage nerve endings.
Both degrees of burn can be painful and cause the skin to redden. Second-degree sunburns can also make the skin swell and blister.
Both types of burns can lead to peeling skin, usually about three days after the sunburn occurs.
Peeling Skin Syndrome (PSS)
Other symptoms may include:
PSS can be divided into categories:
Skin peeling is usually present from birth, but may develop in early childhood or later in life.
Symptoms may be made worse by friction, heat, and humidity or other forms or moisture.
Hand Eczema
- Dry skin that is cracking, peeling, crusting, flaking, and/or scaly
- Redness
- Itchiness and/or pain in the affected area
May be brought on (triggered) by factors such as:
Other Health Conditions
Other health conditions associated with skin peeling include:
- Keratolysis exfoliativa : Common, self-limiting condition that presents with small white rings or superficial blisters on the fingers, palms, or occasionally soles of feet, which peel off
- Oudtshoorn disease ( keratolytic winter erythema ): Rare, inherited condition characterized by intermittent and recurrent centrifugal (moves away from the center) skin peeling with skin reddening, particularly on the palms and soles. Occurs during cold, dry climatic periods
- Ichthyoses : Characterized by fixed, orange-red, hyperkeratotic (thickened skin) plaques, most commonly on cheeks, upper trunks, buttocks, extensor surfaces (skin on the outside of a joint), and sometimes palms and soles
- Kawasaki's disease: Acute illness characterized by fever, rash, swelling of the hands and feet, swollen lymph glands in the neck, irritation and redness of the whites of the eyes, and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips, and throat, mainly affects children under 5 years old, with peeling of the skin on the of hands and feet occurring two to three weeks after fever onset
Severe Skin Peeling: What’s Dangerous?
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe, life-threatening skin disorder, which causes blistering and peeling of the skin. The skin peels in sheets, leaving large, raw areas exposed, and allowing fluid and salts to seep from the damaged areas. These areas are vulnerable to infection.
Symptoms can vary from person to person, but some other common symptoms may include:
- A painful, fast-spreading red area
- Peeling skin (may happen without blistering)
- Raw areas of skin
- Discomfort
- Fever
- May spread to eyes, mouth/throat, genitals/urethra/anus
Symptoms of TEN may resemble other skin conditions. Because of the severity of the condition, talk to a healthcare provider if you have symptoms that are consistent with TEN.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis can be caused by a drug reaction, most often to antibiotics or anticonvulsants. Your healthcare provider may suggest discontinuing this medication.
- Hospitalization, often in the burn unit
- Isolation (to prevent infection)
- Ointments
- Protective bandages
- Intravenous (IV) fluid and electrolytes
- Antibiotics
- IV immunoglobulin G (type of antibody)
Summary
Peeling skin can occur for a number of reasons, including sunburn, peeling skin syndrome, hand eczema, jock itch, scarlet fever, and other medical conditions.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe, life-threatening skin disorder, which causes the skin to blister and peel in sheets. It usually requires hospitalization.

Peeling przed depilacją i po? Czy należy go wykonywać?
Zastanawiacie się, czy peeling przed depilacją jest potrzebny i bezpieczny? Czy przed zabiegiem laserowym można stosować chemiczne złuszczanie naskórka? W dzisiejszym wpisie postaramy się odpowiedzieć na te i inne pytania dotyczące łączenia peelingów z depilacją laserową.
Peeling jest często stosowany przed goleniem lub depilacją mechaniczną, jako remedium na wrastające w skórę włosy. W przypadku zabiegu z wykorzystaniem lasera problem ten nie występuje, dlatego usuwanie martwego naskórka nie jest koniecznością. Depilacja laserowa wymaga pewnych przygotowań, które opiszemy poniżej, jednak peeling przed depilacją nie należy do zestawu czynności, które zaleca się przed serią naświetlań laserem. Pamiętaj, że każdy zabieg musi być poprzedzony konsultacją ze specjalistą z dziedziny medycyny estetycznej bądź lekarzem. Podczas spotkania omówicie ogólny stan Twojego zdrowia oraz kondycję skóry, aby móc wyeliminować ewentualne przeciwwskazania do wykonania zabiegu. Tymczasem zapraszamy do lektury naszego poradnika, który rozwieje Twoje wątpliwości co do zasadności łączenia zabiegów depilacji laserowej z peelingami!
