Peeling fingertips are a common symptom of some skin conditions, including autoimmune psoriasis, eczema, (2) atopic dermatitis, and pompholyx. Some adults chew their nails and fingers under stress, which can result in peeling fingertips as well.
Some children, or even people, may have a habit of sucking their thumbs or fingers, which leads to skin dryness and peeling.
Using items such as harsh chemicals, jewelry, or latex gloves, which you may be allergic to, can cause skin irritation and peeling. Your fingertips may start to peel as a part of an allergic reaction. Always pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel, and apply a moisturizer afterward. It is best to use mild soaps and lukewarm or cold water to wash your hands, whenever necessary. Repetitively washing your hands with harsh soaps and hot water can compromise the skin barrier, often leading to skin peeling. This problem may be magnified if you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation and itchiness on chemical exposure. Your skin may start to peel when it comes in contact with harsh chemicals, such as sanitizers, that can damage the skin’s lipid barrier. The use of nail extensions, nail glue, and nail colors and dermatitis due to acetone overuse can all lead to skin peeling in the fingertips. Fingertip peeling can also occur due to excessive sweating during the summer. In addition, excessive sunlight exposure, especially to the point of sunburn, can cause the fingertips to peel. It is common to experience skin dryness in a cold, dry winter, which can further lead to fingertip peeling.
