What's causing a client's peeling feet?

August 01, 2001 | Bookmark +

My client’s feet peel all the time. She doesn’t have athlete’s foot or dry skin and she puts lotion on them twice a day. But they’re still peeling. Any idea what could be wrong?

Answer

Dr. Roth: There are some medical problems in which peeling does commonly occur, but they usually have other related symptoms such as intense itching (eczema), blister formation, or weepy wounds. My first recommendation would be for your client to see a dermatologist or podiatrist to get a medical evaluation. Although you say your client does not have athlete’s foot, that is the most common reason for peeling skin, and there may not always be itching or small blisters. If this is the case, use of a topical antifungal cream once or twice a day for several weeks should resolve this problem.

How can I prevent lifting when my client's hands are constantly in water?

I have a client who is in the medical field so her hands are constantly in water. She has me keep the length of her acrylic nails short. No matter what I do, she always has at least one nail that comes off, and she always has lifting and gets water under the acrylic. I prep the nails correctly, I have a cuticle bit to clean the cuticle area, and I wipe the nail with alcohol, dehydrate the nail, and prime the nail. What should I do?
