My sons skin is peeling off of his hands and feet. It's not painful for him and it doesn't seem to be itching. It looks like blisters but there's no puss. Now his nails are coming off. I took him to see pediatricians but none of them knew what it was. One thought it was eczema but it was ruled out after test. I'm really worried and want to help him. Does anybody have a clue or maybe have seen this before?
View 1 RepliesAbout a few weeks ago I noticed that my hands are peeling (Which they've never done before). It didn't start at my fingertips, it's like blotches of peeling skin all over my hands.
View 1 RepliesI have been having an issue with peeling skin on my hands, more so on my finger tips. I have seen my family doctor many times regarding the issue and have tried steroids cream, antifungal cream, standard moisturizers have been used plenty. I have been having this issue for about 2 years, no time of year is worst than others, the only thing that makes it worst is the shower.
There is no pain when the skin peels, It seems like little white blisters that are not filled with anything rise to the surface and the skin tears away. The peeling starts sometimes in the corner by my nails on each side and spreads to the center.
Sometimes it starts right in the middle by the nail and spreads. When this all started it was only on my small finger and then all my finger and now my whole hand. It comes and goes in cycles, I did visit a dermatologist and was told that there was nothing she could do as it was an auto-immune problem.
For the last few months the skin on my heels and below my big toe has been peeling/blistering. I assumed it must be athlete's foot so started treating it but it's not going away. One blister has burst a little and silly me pulled the skin away, the new layer of skin was wet but I just put antiseptic cream on it and left it but now it's dry and turning black?
View 1 Repliesblisters on my palms and the soles of my feet. no where else. they don't itch, they feel like pins and needles.
View 4 RepliesI Just need to know if this in normal. I burn myself with hot water last week. I blister formed and then busted open. I drained the yellow/ clear fluid and a small scab in a straight line formed where the blister split. The scab got peeled yesterday by mistake and then a good amount of the skin that was burned ( only about 2-4 inches of skin, may be ) peeled off. It left pink skin exposed underneath. It doesn't really hurt at all, it just itches. I put neosporin and a band-aid on it this morning. I want to know if this is normal, if its going to stay pink like that forever, and if its going to scar.
View 3 RepliesAbout a year ago I noticed raised areas, like blisters under skin on the Palms of my hands(red), some pin head size others small nail head size some of the larger ones form a blister well under the skin...painful to touch. The others ones are just itchy, drive you nuts itchy. A doctor checked on Vasculitis and they think it is that...I seem to think there is a bacterial inflammation in my blood. Has anyone heard of this? I take Zyrtec 1 daily and if I miss two days the bumps come on me with a vengeance. A biopsy was done at the site of a bump and prevalent of Neutrophils. I had a corticosteroid shot for another ailment and it worked miracles on my vasculitis. Does anyone know of other diseases that I should check into. and will a full body pet scan reveal the source of this stuff.

View 5 RepliesSo today I had an appointment with an endo for the second time. He said my thyroid levels are not normal and has diagnosed me with hashimoto's. He explained it has something to do with my antibodies or something. Could this explain why my feet and hands are always Cold?
Anyway, they are treating me straight away for it.
I'm still worried about adrenal Cancer and cushing's. But he said that Cancer isn't an option. And my blood pressure was fine so he doesn't suspect any adrenal problem
I am a 40 year old male about 30 pds overweight. I developed sixth nerve palsy in February 2014 and it finally cleared up three months later on its own? In July 2014 I started burning in my left arm and hand. As time has went by until now the burning has got worse in both feet and legs up to the knee. I also burn in both arms and hands. I burn across my chest and left shoulder also some. I have had several blood test, MRI, nerve electro study. The Dr. Found that I failed my oral glucose tolerance test twice and a skin biopsy showed small nerve fiber damage. I am currently on metformin 500 mg 2 x a day and gabapentin 300 mg 3 x a day. The gabapentin doesn't help. I have taken lisinopryl hctz 10- 12.5 mg and citalopram 20 mg for several years, could the burn come from these medicines? Is it because of diabetes 2, even though my a1c has been only between 5.6 - 5.9? Any ideas on the cause or what to do?

View 1 RepliesI have had Hashimoto's for twelve years. Seems like my levels have never been "right". I've tried Synthroid, Levo and Armour and nothing seems to keep my levels steady. I went to Dr four months ago with severe swelling in hands feet and face and severe joint pain and fatigue. My TSH was 34. He switched me from levo to armour (90 mgs). The first week I felt much better but started swelling again and had terrible fatigue. Went back about two weeks later and he changed me to synthroid 150mgs. The swelling got a little better but still fatigued and joint pain is always there. I went to my gyno for yearly exam two weeks ago and they tested my TSH. it was .05 so gyno lowered synthroid to 125 mg and told me to come back in eight weeks. I'm feeling terrible again.. in bed today because of severe fatigue and joint pain and hands and feet are terribly swollen. Had anyone else had these symptoms with Hashimoto's? I'm wondering if it's the medication that's making me sick.
View 1 RepliesMy friend is staying with me and is feeling really ill and dizzy, his hands and feet are swollen, his neck is swollen and so is his face. His glands and lymph nodes are really swollen. He is really fatigued and has a sore throat. mostly it sounds like Flu symptoms apart from the swelling so can anyone help with an accurate diagnosis, he had his tonsils removed so it isn't tonsillitis.
I gave him co-codamol 30mg/500mg and ibuprofen 600mg tabs, he feels a little better but the swelling hasn't gone down much at all.
I have had some sort of anxiety for about 2 and a half years, and have experienced some awful physical symptoms.
Such as all over body twitching constantly, however for the last couple of months I have also had stiffness in my hands and feet and with joint pain and they constantly makes loud noise every time I move.
I'm a 28 year old male.
Has anyone have or had the same?
I've started taking 25MG of nortriptyline for migraines- my dosage goes up to 50 MG at the end of the week. The first few days of taking it, I experienced physical exhaustion and grogginess, as well as numbness in my legs, feet, and hands, but nothing too bad that impaired me. I also have felt more mentally focused. Any thoughts?
View 2 RepliesI'm 20 years old and I wanted to see if i am not the only woman who has peeling of the skin over the clitoris area. It is painful and extremely embarrassing. I've tried everything to get rid of it. I tried using more lubrication during sex and just in general with coconut oil due to its antifungal/antibacterial properties. It's been like this for months, I do have genital herpes but no other indication of an outbreak that I know of...I just want to be able to enjoy sex and not be in pain. I even air dry as much as possible and only use soaps that are non irritating for the vaginal area, plus keeping the area dry. Help! I just want to feel normal.
View 3 Replieshi! i just moved from germany (where there is no sun!) to texas (i'm sure you all know how that goes!). i took a motorcycle safety class and the first day we were out in the sun a lot more than i thought we would be. long story short i got a really bad sunburn on my face and neck/shoulder/collarbone area. i got the sunburn last weekend and just started peeling yesterday...
anyway i haven't had a sunburn in a very long time so i have been peeling off the dead skin myself. i didn't realize until i googled it today that i shouldn't do that i am about to go take a chilled bath... i don't have any lotions that are fragrance free or any soap like that... what should i do? will it leave a scar? how likely is infection since i've been peeling myself? i have all these pink spots now mixed in with the burnt skin mixed in with my normal skin. it's very ugly! but that's not what bothers me, i just don't want to get sick!
and don't worry i have been on top of my sunscreen since then. sunburns are no fun!
I know everyone gets pruning hands if you leave your hands in water for excess time. However For the past 3 days if I do dishes or rinse something off in the bathtub for a couple mins my hands start to peel very badly and when they become dry I am left with flaky skin. I've never had issues of peeling skin or anything like this

View 1 RepliesI've been having issue with my nose. some red marks sometimes, and when I touch or apply some force onto my nose, it becomes red. Every morning, my nose becomes very flaky and the skin peels off. I do use moisturizer after washing my face. It has been like this since August. But after some time when I don't do anything with my nose, it has the normal color of my skin but, it still have a bit of redness on my nose.
