Hi, do you guys know what is causing this?
This started happening around 3 weeks ago, but has gotten worse and worse. Is particularly bad right after a shower. What do you think this is?

Hand suddenly started peeling like crazy

It looks like what is often just referred to as 'dry skin', which usually responds well to using a moisturiser and avoiding soap on the area. It's unusual, though, that it has appeared so suddenly. Have you started using a different soap in the shower? It's possible there might be some allergy involved.
It's probably also worth trying an antifungal cream, as fungal infections are particularly common skin infections. I'm not convinced about this one, though.

I believe I have been using the same body wash as before. Is this something I should see a dr about? If so, what should I ask to get checked for?

@loknar If the condition does not improve then, yes, I would consider an appointment with my physician. Don't worry about going in to the office with a diagnosis in mind. The doctor should provide that. Just show him/her your hand and ask for an opinion.
