5. Peeling of the Skin
Peeling of the skin is a common sign that’s seen in cases of Kawasaki disease, and most commonly takes place after the worst of the rash has disappeared: This can take a few days to a week from the first onset of the symptoms. The peeling skin can be extremely sensitive and resemble skin that has been exposed to sunlight for too long – and even though it’s not caused by sunburn, it’s a very good idea to stay out of the sun for the duration of a Kawasaki disease infection.
Don’t scratch or pick at peeling skin: This can be one of the most dangerous things to and it might break the skin and cause further infections to enter, especially if your immune system is already at a low due to battling Kawasaki disease.
The best thing to do for peeling skin after the rash is over is to treat the skin carefully: Make use of simple methods to hydrate the skin and avoid methods that could over-irritate sensitive skin.
