Why is my right hand thumb skin peeling?

In my right hand thumb skin is peeling

1 Answer

Answered on 1st Mar '25

Peeling skin on your thumb can result from various factors, such as dryness, irritation, or an allergic reaction. Sometimes, frequent hand washing or exposure to harsh chemicals can contribute to this condition. To soothe the area, apply a gentle moisturizer or a hand cream regularly. It's also beneficial to wear gloves while doing household chores to protect your skin. If the issue persists or worsens, seeking advice from a dermatologist is essential. They can provide a tailored treatment plan and ensure there are no underlying concerns.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.

Female | 14

Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

Hi mam/sir Can I use Tretinoin cream 0.025% ? While using that cream can I use any active ingredient in morning skin care? How to use Tretinoin? When to use tretinoin? Can we use daily?

Female | 23

Indeed, Tretinoin cream can be applied to treat skin diseases such as acne. But a dermatologist should be consulted before starting any treatment. They can give personalized instructions on treating Tretinoin cream and further guide the active ingredients that are safe to use in your morning routine. Be sure to adhere to the instructions provided by your physician for optimal results.

Can i get hpv from touching doors,keyboards, cups, clothes or shaking hands ? Thank you so much.

Male | 32

HPV means human papillomavirus. You can’t get it from things like cups, clothes, doors, and keyboards. This virus is often spread through skin-to-skin contact. It can cause warts or even cancer in some cases. The best way to keep yourself safe from this virus is to get the HPV vaccine.

idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis treatment can be done

Male | 37

Little white spots can appear on the skin, mainly on the arms and legs, due to fewer pigment cells caused by aging and sun exposure. There's no treatment, but you can prevent it from worsening by using sunscreen and avoiding too much sun.
