When the skin peels and itches, this may be the result of bad habits (smoking, etc.) or adverse effects of environmental factors. But often the cause is a lack of vitamins and improper use of cosmetics. In women, hormonal changes also affect the condition of the skin. Various pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetic creams, and folk remedies are used for treatment.
In newborns, peeling usually spreads throughout the body. This occurs due to the skin adapting to the air space. It is necessary to moisturize and soften the baby's skin. In older children, peeling can be caused by the same reasons as in adults.
