Sometimes, what seemed like a viral cold might actually have been a bacterial infection, such as Strep, which can cause skin peeling on the hands as it heals. Alternatively, your doctor may want to protect the delicate, peeling skin from developing a secondary bacterial infection. This medicine is excellent for targeting these bacteria. Please ensure they finish the full course as prescribed and keep their hands gently moisturized. Your pediatrician is always there to help support you.
