There are two common causes of foot desquamation: the first is foot fungal infection, that is, the occurrence of tinea pedis, mainly squamous keratinization with slight itching or no obvious itching.

In this case, antifungal therapy is needed, and antifungal ointment or liquid medicine, such as terbinafine hydrochloride ointment and miconazole nitrate spray, can be used externally for about 4 weeks.

Another situation may be exfoliation or simple desquamation caused by herpes zoster, which has no obvious pain or itching symptoms and recurs every year. At the same time, this kind of peeling will also occur on the hands, which can be defined as a special type of eczema.

If it is not accompanied by itching, it can be treated with moisturizing ointment.
