 Posted: 03/13/08 - 10:33 Post subject: My son's hands and feet are peeling! |
  |
|
| My son just recently got over being very sick with a high fever. Since then his hands and feet have been peeling. With him being only 6 years old, he doesn't understand why he cannot pick at the fleshy pieces that are sticking off and aggravating him. What do you think is wrong that his skin is peeling off so badly? The skin that is under what has peeled off is extremely dry, scaley, and rough. I have tried moisterizers and everything! Any help?!? |

| My son is going to be six and the same thing is happening to him, and its not just peeling little pieces of skin, its like th e whole toe outline etc. He recently had scarlett fever and from what I have read on other sites, having strep can cause this. |

My 8 year old son is experiencing the same thing after being sick with a very high fever followed by a skin rash. The skin under what is peeling is red on the palms of his hands and the skin on the feet almost feels like plastic. The doctor has prescribed some medicated cream , lyderm fluocinonide which seems to be helping very slowly. This morning however his neck has started peeling lightly as well.
The doctor feels it may be some allergy. I feel it is the aftermath of the high fever or perhaps some viral skin infection |

| you should get your son checked for Kawasaki Disease. It could be serious, I had it as a child, and let to heart problems. Started as scarlet fever. |
