The Skin on my fingers are peeling off, however their is no pain involved.

We've all got the same symptoms...OK so here's the answer. Contact Dermatitis - I know - no news there. The trick is finding out "contact" with what - again - heard it all right - read on! Biggest chance is - it's soap - in all its forms. And soap replacements, hand sanitisers - all the c**p we think is cleaning our skin. The facts are that a good scrub with hot water for the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" will get as many germs off your hands as with soaps and cleaners. I suffered for close to 2 years / doctor / dermatologist - tried everything listed here. I did away with washing my hands with soap and used the substitutes - nothing. Then, like others, I realised that I wash my hair every day. Tried all different shampoos / tried doing it with plastic gloves on then tried latex gloves - still nothing. Same depressing cycle - times I thought it was my fate forever. SO I thought b****r it! What have I got to lose? I decided to keep all soap and chemicals off my hands COMPLETELY - I mean religiously! This means washing my hands in plain warm/hot water; using gloves when cleaning or handling any chemicals at all BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I use plastic or latex gloves (doesn't matter) but tape those suckers to my wrists so that no soapy water gets in AT ALL when I'm bathing or showering. I figure my hands have become so reactive - allergic if you like - that the slightest touch is like acid! Well, turns out - it is. The tape I use is a hangover from my $300 Dermatologist visit - at least he was good for something. It's the 3M micropore - it stays on in water and comes off cleanly. IT WORKS!!! To combat the dryness and bring the skin back to normality i use the only other bit of advice from the skin specialist that worked - I sleep and sometimes (embarrassingly for my family) drive with white cotton gloves on with Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream slathered on affected bits. The cycle is broken!! Saw my doc - he reckons it will take a couple of months for the skins' natural cycle to normalise. Says he's seen hair-dressers that have had to change careers because of it. Anyway no-one on any of these sites that I've read have used this method - so I felt obliged to post my findings in the hope that it works for others. Remember soap is acid - avoid it like the plague. Good Luck. A.

Guest.... those little bubbles you are talking about are actually a type of exzema. its commonly known as weeping exzema. (I have no idea how to spell it sorry)... I easily build up tolerances to the creams the doctors give me, I found an age old, tried-and-true method to get rid of them.... mix 1part rubbing alcohol and 2 parts glycerin. you can buy it over the counter from your local grocery store. its sweet and very thick and sticky. but rub it in once a day (or more but you shouldn't need to) and your troubles will be over..... this also works well for stubborn dry patches.

I have experienced these same symptoms. I cannot figure out what triggers it!

I had the same rash and now I have the same peeling on my hands! And I had no idea what it was all from! Did it go away on its own? And did you do anything to help it?

Hi, my name is Megan. I'm almost 13 years old and my fingers peel. Many athletes also have this problem on their feet. I have this problem on my hand and I use a moisturizing cream on my hands and it's gone.

My middle finger has been peeling on and off for 15 years. I've kinda given up on treatment. The best solution I had was sorbelene cream every morning and night. It works great but I don't think anything will ever cure it. I've tried steroid creams as prescribed but they were a waste of money. I'm come to the terms that it's skin rot.

Yes, I am a 34 year old mother of two and after I clean out the tub with Kaboom my hands get really dry and peel automatically I'm not so sure why. Do you know, if so can you please tell me?

gloves will only make it worse trust me

The creams won't solve the problem, only temporarily subdue the symptoms. So don't look for creams as an answer. It could be an intestinal problem, meaning that currently the microbiomes in your intestine are not functioning properly. As a result, the microbiome is not synthesizing your food properly, thereby causing a shortage of certain essential vitamins, probably vitamin B's.
The solution could be to start taking a good probiotic (and a prebiotic) as well as a good multivitamin supplement. That way you are addressing the problem from multiple vantage points.
Try to think what you might have done 2 years ago. Did you take an antibiotic that could have hurt your microbiome?
Hope this helps. Let me know in case of questions, Alex.

I have all the same symptoms. Bubbling,hardening,peeling,nail weakness and it looks like I may lose it. Stress, water and chemicals seem to trigger it. Went to a dermatologist and she said its dishydrosis or phomphlox not sure on the spelling. There is no cure. It drives me nuts. I tried all creams steroid, triple antibiotic, vasaline, gloves , you name it I tried it. I even did light treatment therapy with no results. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It's dishydrosis and it doesn't go away. I just wanted to answer the question of the year.

It is like exfoliate ketolyosis...use creams with urea in them to help!

If your rash and/or blisters do not hurt or it h then it is exfoliate kerotylosis...even water can exacerbate it! Try using cream with urea...it will help

im 13 and it started about a month ago and its scaring me

Hi.
First - don't panic. This is pretty common nowadays. As per the response by 'The Cure', it's quite likely cause by strong soaps - car and dishwashing detergents, public bathroom dispensers, etc. Perhaps you've been helping at a car wash or started somewhere new with different soaps or even just started washing your hands more frequently than in the past.
Best to try to avoid these detergents for a while (forever!).
Your skin cells cycle - that is they grow and die off about every 30 days - they come off slowly so you really don't notice but when it blisters up it takes a few weeks to grow back normally.
Use a very mild soap like Dove after toilet and before eating. Neurogena fishermans/Norwegian hand cream will help.
Hope that helps.
