Why are my fingers peeling? Actually, my whole hands are peeling now. No blisters, just skin coming off! Help!

I got this answer but this is not what I have. There are no little blisters. Just skin peeling off. "It sounds like dyshidrotic eczema, a common and unimportant skin condition which produces little blisters on the fingers, hands, and sometimes feet. Cause is unknown-it's not an allergy. Treatment is not absolutely necessary, but if you are very troubled by it, a doctor can prescribe a cortisone-based cream, which usually helps."

Have you been handling any strong solvents or bleach lately? If not, a vitamin deficiency is usually to blame. Try eating native sunflower oil (not the refined stuff, that's useless), olive oil, sunflower seeds. Cut out sugar for a while. Hope it helps.
Reply:just keep puttin lotion on them. sleep with your hands in plastic bags full of lotion. its usually caused by stress or weather.
Reply:What happens next? Your hands fall off.





Sounds like a fungal infection.
Reply:It sounds like a reaction you get when used too much detergent.


How much detergent are you using when washing dishes?


My daughter and I get that with some that we use to wash dishes, and if we use too much.....consider wearing gloves and if goes then try washing up without again to see if returns, if so.....you know what the problem is
Reply:My daughter went through the same thing a couple of years ago, never found out what it was it cleared up on it's on.
Reply:so then why ask this question
Reply:It sounds like you are like me. That you suffer from extremely dry skin.





Get some hand lotion, SUAVE or St. Ive's, is what I use.





Apply it often and after EVERYTIME your hands have gotten wet.





Air conditioning in the car, aggrivates it.


Alcohol, beer, makes it worse. So do cleaning products and even mild hand soaps. It's pittiful!





If I go 12 hours without lotion my skin starts peeling off and it drives me nuts.





I probably apply it 10 to 12 times a day. It works.
Reply:I guess it is just normal. We peel off to renew our skin, it just like taking off the dead cell layer to produce new skin cells. It should not happen often. If it does, then it must be due to something you're using like lotion or creams.. or maybe soap or detergent. I once used a strong detergent and it caused my hands to peel off.Hope this is the answer you are looking for. :0
Reply:my 9 yr old son had the same problem, so what i did was after every shower i would apply lotion on his hands (after a shower when u apply lotion it locks in the moisture) and after about 2-3 wks we noticed a difference...skin began growing back and no more peeling... but you have to do it everyday...
Reply:yes it happens due to weather, my skin also peeling off now a days and in every summer and winter...
Reply:Sounds like a fungal infection similar to athlete's foot. Athlete's foot can spread to other body parts through contact. Try an anti fungal like lotramin.
Reply:Maybe you have leprosy? Only joking, I have no idea.
Reply:Try water theraphy. You're probably dehydrated due to too much sun exposure and not drinking enough water to replace the fluids you've lost from sweating.
Reply:Hi! I suggest you go and consult a doctor or dematologist about it. It's safer than to guess about. With doctors diagnosis you will know what has gone wrong and then you can avoid the things which causes the problem. Also, doctor will prescribe to you appropriate medications to reduce the condition and it will entually bring it udner control. Whether4 or not it will be cured totally depends on your personal health conditions, genes, environmental, the things you use, etc. Practically every aspects played a part. It's better to start receiving medical attention than to wait until it's too late! Just a sharing.....
Reply:I don't think it's eczema. It happened to my toes once. But it got better because I gave it some air.
Reply:I have the same thing. My thumb and forefinger (sometimes middle finger) peel. first the skin gets really tough then starts peeling. Thick layers of skin come off. After everything peels (I help it along because I can't help to pick at it a bit), I go into remission for several days and they whole thing starts again. I hate it so much. It is ugly and annoying. I have been to the derm. I started out with a cortisone cream and then to a steroid cream and now an even stronger steroid cream. Nothing is working. My derm said the next step is UV light therapy. Let me know if you got any help.
