MY 3 years old son has Acral peelling skin syndrome. The skinon his hands and feet can be seen all over the house, and every time I see that my heart comes out of my chest a thousand times a day.

Whether my skin peeling that occurs only during weather change would ever come to an end. Although it does not provide any harm to me but causes a sense of displeasure. I want to be cured. ☹️

Can using bleach without wearing protective covering on your hands cause this as well?

Thank you! Ive downed my hands in so much detergent 2 days ago, the peeling started now. But only little and not harsh. Its all over the palms of my domininant hand and my fingers. It's not on the back of my hands at the moment. There are some bits on my other hand too. It's detergent, but are there any ways I help them get back to normal?

I lotion my hand sleep with a cotton sock on or a cotton glove I order from amazon and it helps for a bit maybe I dont have patients I take it off to soon but by morning its looks good once the air hits it it drys up again
