My son’s skin problem

Published by

My son’s skin has been peeling since he was eight months old. A doctor recommended Augmentin syrup which we used, yet the peeling did not stop. Please let me know what else we can do to tackle this problem.

Although you did not indicate your son’s current age, peeling of the skin is a sign of some underlying medical or psychological problems that need to be addressed by a doctor, preferably a skin expert who will properly examine your son and order some important tests for him. My advice, therefore, is to consult a dermatologist at the nearest specialist or teaching hospital to you.
