Palmar Peeling Syndrome

Palmar Peeling Syndrome- Everything to Understand

About

Focal surfaces of the fingers are affected which cause a painfully dry skin and peeling of the skin.

The cause of keratolysis exfoliativa is unknown. It is thought that for some reason the desmosomes on the corneocytes separate from each other prematurely. No genetic abnormality has been detected to date (2018).[1]

- Requires proper medical attention if detected
- Can happen to anyone
- Condition persists for a long period of time

Palmar peeling syndrome which is also known as the Keratolysis exfoliativa is sometimes harmless during the first instances but can become immensely painful if not treated immediately. The focal surfaces of the fingers are affected the most which leads to painfully dry skin and peeling of the skin. Blisters can also form on the surface of the skin during excessive peeling.

Ages affected - between 20 - 30 years- fewer; between 30 - 40 years- more often; 40 years and above - most often
