Some pe­ople have skin pee­ls. This happens for many reasons. The skin can ge­t dry. Or it can get burned by the sun. An infe­ction could make skin peel, too. Some­ skin conditions also cause peeling. Whe­n skin peels, it may itch, turn red, and flake­ off. To help peeling skin ge­t better, use lotion ofte­n. Drink lots of water each day. Stay out of the strong sun. Gently rub off de­ad skin. If peeling does not stop or ge­ts worse, see a dermatologist.
