Peeling skin syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by
widespread painless peeling of the skin in superficial sheets. Etiology is still
unknown with an autosomal recessive inheritance. Less than 100 cases have been
reported in the medical literature. We present a 32-year-old man having
asymptomatic peeling of skin since birth. Sheets of skin were peeling from his
neck, trunk, and extremities, following friction or rubbing especially if
pre-soaked in water but sparing palm and soles. Histologically, there was
epidermal separation at the level of stratum corneum, just above the stratum
granulosum. This case is being presented due to its rarity.
