Alright, so I am a 15 year old girl.
These past... two weeks or so, I've been having some problems with my skin.
I have no clue how I got it, either.
It started out as these bumps on my left AND right ring fingers... They were these tiny red bumps and my fingers felt strangely smooth. Eventually that lead up to peeling.. It doesn't seem as extreme as a fungal infection or that other condition where your hands are raw and peeled.. And it's not just on my fingers. The problem has spread to my left inner thigh, it ALSO stared out with red bumps, my left elbow looks like I've fallen and scraped my skin against rough cement -- [ Need I say that I have not scratched my elbow at all. ] I'm also noticing that it's spreading to my knees, and my right ring finger has developed a deep paper-like cut and it looks somewhat purple... I'm deeply confused, worried and stressed out over this matter. I have no way of getting to a doctor because I've got a 10 month old baby to take care of; my mother's out of state and doesn't seem to take this seriously, and my father's always working. I am very desperate to know what this could be, I've tried hydrocortisone 2.5%, various eczema creams/balms, antibacterial ointment, and aloe vera products.. I'm sad to say that none of these have helped my skin or prevent the peeling... If anyone has a clue of what it could be, it would be deeply appreciated. :-(
