This looks like sunburn with skin peeling (post sun exposure). Redness followed by peeling is a common healing response. It is not dangerous, but the skin barrier is currently damaged and needs soothing care.
Next Steps
• Apply a thick moisturizer (with ceramides / petroleum jelly base) 3–4 times daily
• Use a soothing cream like calamine or aloe vera gel for relief
• If redness/itching is significant, a mild steroid cream for 3–5 days can help
• Avoid sun exposure; use sunscreen SPF 50 on hands when going out
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Do not peel or scratch the skin—let it shed naturally
• Avoid harsh soaps, scrubs, or home remedies
• Keep hands well hydrated
• Peeling will settle in 5–7 days, tanning will gradually reduce
