Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?

- Peeling despite adequate skin care
- Moisturizers do not seem to help
- Diagnosed with palmoplantar pustulosis or athlete’s foot
Peeling skin on the palms is not always caused by dryness alone.
At our clinic, we consider not only the skin itself but also the underlying circulation and overall body condition.
When circulation beneath the skin is impaired, the outer layer of the skin may not receive adequate nourishment, which can contribute to peeling.
Symptoms often worsen during humid seasons, especially around the rainy season, when the body’s fluid metabolism may become less efficient.
In traditional East Asian medicine, this condition is sometimes described as an accumulation of “damp heat.”
Similar patterns may also be observed in conditions such as palmoplantar pustulosis and certain skin problems affecting the soles of the feet.
We evaluate not only the skin symptoms but also lifestyle factors and overall body balance.
Reviewing daily fluid intake habits may also be beneficial, as excessive consumption of beverages when not thirsty can sometimes affect the body’s fluid regulation.
