Is It Due To Avoiding Of Vitamin A Intake There Is Peeling Of Skin?
My skin on first phalange of the fingers is becoming hard and after few days the skin is pealing and fresh skin is forming. The problem is fading when I consume 50000 IU of Vitamin A per day. once I stop the intake of Vitamin A, the problem is repeating within a week or ten days. Please suggest a remedy for my problem.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to the deficiency of vitamin A.the reason for the deficiency may be the worms which are squeezing the intake of the vitamins by oral route. Anemia and other deficiencies like vitamin B complex may encourage the deficiency of vitamin A.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms vitamin A,in injection form,and Bcomplex suppliments.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
