Hello all. I was doing research on my own problems when I came across this discussion board. I have a condition in which started with tingly fingers, then they began to peel and it moved to my feet. I went to the doctor who said it may be scaled skin syndrome. We found a staff infection under a small spot in my toe nail and removed it and treated it with antibiotics. The doctor said this was most likely the cause of infection. To my detriment 4 weeks later the numbness returned with mild peeling/dry skin. I went in and found I had a kidney infection and am now being treated for this. My doctor claims kidney infection has nothing to do with the scalded skin syndrome but now I'm wondering what is wrong with me. I am a normal and healthy person who got sick 3 months ago with this and cannot seem to get rid of it. I'm actually pretty scared and wondering if anyone else has been treated for this and how was it treated because I understand this is rare in adults...
I was treated with antibiotics and the conditions went away and then quickly returned once I finished the medication :-(


looking at the pictures of scalded skin syndrome, My skin looks nothing like those. It just gets really dry, turns whitish, and peels away. I don't have any red or yellow or deep wounds like in all the pictures...I look normal once lotion is applied. Could I have been misdiagnosed?
Can anyone help my peculiar situation and give me some insight?

PS I have been tested for low iron and that is not the cause or tingling...
I also forgot to mention that my fingers look a little pruined and wrinkly before I apply lotion...Also my doctor prescribed me this laclotion, told me to soak my hands and feet twice daily and then scoff off the dead skin and apply the lotion liberally. I did this and now I have these yellow callus looking things...my doctor said its just my skin overreacting and making too much skin....arg...help! Please!
