Peeling skin on 7y/o daughters feet

Hi all,
Long time reader, but first time poster!

My 7y/o daughter has quite a lot of peeling skin on her feet. There is no redness at all, no swelling & no itching.

I've been applying athlete's foot cream twice a day for the last 5 days, but there is no change.

She also has a small amount of peeling skin on the palms of her hands too.

She has a healthy varied diet, and is not on any medication at all. All in all, a very normal kid if such a thing exists!

Any thoughts on this?

Has she had HFM recently? Or any unspecified virus that looked like a cold but may hint at HFM? When my DS (1 at the time) had it the skin on his feet and hands peeled.
