Q: my son is fifteen and the tips on his fingers the skin is peeling, what could that be?
did he recently have an infection and was he taking a antibiotic?
First off I would take him to your family Doctor or To a Dr. I would say that it is just caused by dryness of the skin. Everytime he gets out of the shower he should always lotion his self down real good and Vasaline is also a good oil for the skin for dryness of the skin. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!! and God Bless!
