My skin from the palms is shedding. Please see the attached photo. This is not related to any cosmetic product related allergy. I also have thyroid, but I am taking the medicines. Please advise, if this is related to thyroid or some vitamin deficiency.

Hi Can't open the photograph you uploaded. But peeling of skin can also occur normally during summer. Apply moisturiser twice daily for few days and if it doesn't improve then Visit a dermatologist to know whether it is normal peeling of skin or due to some other cause.
