Skin Peeling

Ok,

i have had the same problem. I would just constantly peel away skin on my feet and hands. I know this is going to sound strange and sick but I cured it by using urine. I tryed everything, like creams, powders, and the docters could not figure it out and I heard from someone that I should try urine because there is something that gets rid athletes foot, skin peeling problems and real bad fungus. I really didnt want to try it but it actually worked. I hope this helps!

:roll: if you guys find an answer for peeling fingers plz advise us all. My 7 year old is ashamed to go to school and show his fingers. For the pass week they have looked so bad with the peeling issue. He hides his hands. I know he has eczema but I never knew it hit fingers that bad. :(

My 3 year old son was recently diagnosed with kawasaki syndrome. One of the later symptoms is peeling fingers and hands. Has your child recently had a high fever,stomach tenderness, or bloodshot eyes? If so get him checked fast. Kawasaki's has long term cardiac effects. It is a fairly rare childhood disease that can not be tested for and there is no vaccine.

hand foot and mouth possibly

Both of my children exhibited the peeling fingers and toes, took them to Ped and she said it was hand foot and mouth disease. They also had blisters in their mouths though so I don't know. I know my son still gets peeling skin on his fingers and toes, went to Ped about this, Ped made referral to dermatologist and dermatologist said that it can be due to dry skin or overly moist skin. In our case its due to dry skin caused by his eczema.

I have really bad Psoriasis. My fingers peel, so do my feet. It looks like a had a popped blister, but it wasn't. Almost like... an air bubble under my skin. I also have it on my arms, knees, back, and the top of my neck under my hair.


WHAT I DO TO GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!
Salt water. Beach salt water. Not water with table salt. no. Go to the beach. Soak in the water for 20 minutes. It'll be gone in a matter of days. I don't know what it is, it runs in my family. But ever since I was little, I'd go to the beach to keep it away. My whole family does the same. It works INCREDIBLY. I haven't been to the beach in about 3 months, and it's just STARTING to come back. My hands are all peeling, so are my feet. I have my rashes in my back, elbows, and knees. I'm going to the beach tomorrow.

ALSO. If you don't live close to the beach. You can refridgerate the beach water. That's what I do, since I'm a 40 minute drive. I bring lots of empty water bottles, milk containers, 2 liters, etc. And fill them up. Take them home, and put them in my fridge. If you set them in room temperature, bacteria can grow. So it has to be refriderated. When you're ready to use it, sit in your bath tub. Plug the drain. Pour it over the spot. And use a cup or wash cloth to pick up more water and run it over the spot.

Good luck. =] It works for me and my family, I just hope it works for you all.
