I am 67 yrs old and my palms peel.  It starts as little red bumps that look like ant bites, then blisters up and starts to peel.  Could this be a vitamin deficinecy?

Hi. You may wish to repost this in the Dermatology Forum as this is not acne. The best over-the-counter cream I have found for hands is Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream. If it does not improve, your doctor can prescribe a steroid cream.
Vitamins A,C and E are good for skin as is zinc.
