Skin peeling on the thumb and foot with mild itching can be caused by various factors including eczema, fungal infection, friction, frequent handwashing, or exposure to harsh soaps. Keeping the affected areas moisturized and avoiding irritants like harsh soaps may help. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate topical treatment tailored to the underlying cause.
