Do your feet have unsightly patches? Find out how to get rid of peeling skin on your feet.<\/p>\n

There are many things that may cause the skin on your feet to peel. You may want to tell them apart from other conditions. Take heart because foot fungus<\/a> is curable with a few natural remedies.<\/p>\n

What Are the Causes of Peeling Skin on Feet?<\/h2>\n

You may wonder if the flaking skin on your feet should ring alarm bells. Though it isn’t a condition that should put you in an Accident and Emergency ward, it may point to underlying problems. Here are some maladies that may cause the skin on your feet:<\/p>\n

1. Skin Exfoliation<\/h4>\n

First of all, skin cells die off naturally. If you don’t get regular pedicures, dead skin will accumulate. A gentle scrub will usually remove it.<\/p>\n

2. Sunburn<\/h4>\n

You may have exposed yourself to the sun while going barefoot. The post-burn peeling that you experience on the rest of your body happens on your feet as well.<\/p>\n

3. Lack of moisture<\/h4>\n

The skin on your feet may peel if it is too dry<\/a>. Extreme heat and dry air can worsen the situation.<\/p>\n

4. Toe-box Dermatitis<\/h4>\n

Shoes that have rubber toes trap warm air and foot sweat. They may cause your skin to redden and peel. Allergies may worsen the situation. Wearing shoes made of porous material is always preferred.<\/p>\n

5. Eczema<\/h4>\n

Eczema is the umbrella term for diseases that cause inflammation. The hallmarks of this disease are itchiness and redness all over your body, including the soles of your feet<\/a>. The exact cause of it isn’t known, but environmental factors such as extreme heat may exacerbate the situation.<\/p>\n

6. Athlete’s Foot<\/h4>\n

Finally, we have the Athlete’s Foot or flaking of the skin on the feet caused by different types of fungus. Itchiness and scaling typify this condition. The fungus infects all parts of the foot, particularly the toes and base.<\/p>\n

7. Trench Foot<\/h4>\n

You may get wrinkly skin after soaking your foot for a long while. If the session is too long, you may develop a condition known as Trench Foot. The skin on your feet may turn red. Moreover, it may itch and tingle. You will also experience some pain. If not treated, your skin will start to flake.<\/p>\n

8. Cellulitis<\/h4>\n

No, this isn’t an ugly collection of fat cells. Instead, it is a skin infection. It usually occurs on the legs and can spread to the feet. Blisters may form, and you may develop a fever as well.<\/p>\n

9. Psoriasis<\/h4>\n

This autoimmune disease hastens your body’s skin cell cycle and causes the accumulation of thick patches of skin. These may itch or bleed. They may also feel scaly and flaky.<\/p>\n

10. Hives<\/h4>\n

Hives, or Urticaria, are rashes, but they seldom swell. You will develop rough skin patches with a pale center. These may occur on the feet.<\/p>\n

11. Blistering Disease<\/h4>\n

Blistering Disease, or Pemphigus, is another autoimmune disorder. The immune system turns on the healthy cells in the skin and mouth. This condition is rare but painful.<\/p>\n
