What Causes Peeling Skin On Fingers And Palms While On Antibiotics?

My 20 yr old son has peeling skin of his fingers and palms. We discussed any change in work environment, soaps(dawn dish soap) gloves, etc. He took some antibiotic a few weeks ago for a knee infection. But hasn t taken them in a week or so. This just started a couple days ago, but he says it happened before, a few weeks ago
