Ow, this hurts.

Okay, my fingers are peeling and it hurts like a mofo. I get it every summer. My mom says it's something like eksema (sp?). I was wondering if any one else had it and what they do about it.

I was bitten by a house-spider a few months ago, and the skin on the back of my hand peeled off for some time. It's more irritating than painful.

Hmm...I was wondering if this (http://www.rxinsider.com/monographs/eczema.htm) was what you're talking about.:shrug:

Sounds kinda like what I have only I was told I had no allergies. And it's only on my fingers and toes. I went to the pharmacist today and he said it was something like a fungus. It first got really bad when I started to play golf. Im guessing that wearing my golf gloves kept all the moisture in and it caused some irritation. The thing is that it doesn't itch. The pharmacist gave me a cream of some sort that he said should help so Im going to try that.

Playing golf, eh? Were you exposed to a locker room atmosphere? You could have picked up some sort of athlete's foot, which spread to your hands by touching your feet.

[Archibaldo]

I don't think so, I don't use the locker room there except to wash my hands because of all the peeling.

Hrm.... Is it all over your hands, or just your fingertips? My cousin used to have a hand peeling problem when he was young, but he also had cancer when he was very young, so I'm not sure if the two conditions were somehow related.

Anyway, you probably should see a doctor about this if it's really bothering you. I'm willing to wager that most people on AGN are like me, and aren't exactly medically certified. :p

It's just on my finger tips. Although the cream I'm using seems to be helping. They arn't very sore yet.

It sounds like a similar condition that I have. Psoriasis. The skin loses pigmentation (leukodermia) and begins to peel off. It tends to itch and burn too! I have this problem on my elbows. And I know my elbows aren't touching my feet! XD
