Peeling skin

Peeling skin is a symptom of a variety of skin conditions, often characterized by redness, flaking, and dryness. It can occur in patches or over the entire body. It develops due to a disruption of the skin's protective barrier, which can be caused by environmental factors, such as sun exposure, or underlying medical conditions, such as eczema. It can manifest as a range of symptoms, from mild redness and scaling to severe itching and burning.
