I have huge problem with my hands. Few months ago, I have noticed they are not just dry as they used to be for all my life. Now I have noticed they started to peeling beside they are dry. I do not know what it means and what should I do. Can you tell me something more about dry peeling hands?

I understand you completely since I have the same problem with dry peeling hands. I have noticed maybe a month ago that the skin on my hands is peeling. No matter what lotion I use, it does not seem to help with this problem. I realized that lotions for dry skin, almond oil, just do not seem to do any good with dry peeling skin on my hands. The problem seems to be only on my hands and it was looked there is nothing I could do about it. I have been asking for a long time what should be the best treatment for dry peeling hands. During my research, I realize there is usually no specific cause for dry peeling skin. I gather I should not wash my hands too often or use harsh solvents. Moreover, I found there are many good moisturizers, such as petroleum jelly, aquaphor ointment, Eucerin cream, Bag Balm. If these are too greasy for your dry peeling hands, you could try a light lotion, of which there are many. I hope this will help both of us with terrible problem with dry peeling hands.

|
|
My hands peeled in high school and there was nothing I could do but wait a few months for them to heal. It started at the fingertips and eventually worked it's way to the entire palm, almost looked like the third layer of skin in some areas. It was horrible, but eventually it just went away. No doctors knew what it was from and there was no medicine or lotion that would help.
About a week ago my fingertips started peeling again. Great. It's been about 14 years since the last time they peeled and I have no clue what could be causing it. Oh well, at least I'm not in High School, cause that sure sucked. |

| My husband has very bad peeling hands - like you said the 3rd layer of skin is peeling off in massive amounts - This is the second time that this has happened to him - both times the peeling has been preceded by flu like symptoms and a fever. I am concerned about adult Kawasaki's disease. Any thoughts? |

| Quote: | i have a similar problem but my infliction starts with the flu or a cold and only at this time. Part way through the cold both my palms and around my right thumb start tingling and the skin is very sensitive to any heat, be it water or radiated heat. After a few days the skin starts to harden like leather and shortly after a number of layers will peel off like a dry blister. The right thumb goes extremely leather like, to the point I cannot bend it until I tear the skin off which relieves the pressure. Once the skin has peeled which occurs over about 2 to 3 weeks, it leaves a scaly like skin texture until it all returns to normal about a weel later. The skin that peels off looks like dead skin but its not as if the skin underneath is replacing it as it is very thin.
After it is all over the nail on my right thumb grows with a raised lump from the quik.
I am 44 and this started about 4 years ago. No skin specialist has an answer other than to prescribe very expensive creams which do nothing.
Any help would be appreciated. |

I noticed my palms peel every February. This I observed as far as I can remember while in Primary or Secondary School. It used to bother me but I think I've overcome that. In any case I'm mindful of how people feel when I shake their hands.
Is there a way out |

|
|
| I have the same problem. Fingers start to swell and blister near the base. Eventually crack with waterlike discharge. Spreads to other fingers (never the thumb). Comes and goes every few years. Last time DR perscribed antibiotic ointment and soak in witch hazel along with antibiotic pills. Did the trick for the breakout but it's no cure. Just started up again. |

I also have this problem. this occurs only every few months after i have washed my hands with washing up liquid or doing the dishes.
I also get it after work because of the cement involved in brick laying.
I found that if i wash my hands I have to moisturise them straight away or my skin is dry all day weeks even. I do not think there is any cause to this but a form of eczma all we can do is bear it and moistureise regularly |
