for about 2 weeks I have noticed a lot of
my skin peeling off my hands, just at the
front of my hands. I dont understand how
this has happened, I am not too worried
but still would like to know if its
something serious, it does not itch and no
spots are present. I was told to use e45
cream
can any1 tell me what is wrong with my
hands and if I have anything to worry
about.
Thanks

I have had spots on the palms of my hands
and sides of my fingers, for the last 6
months or so. I think mine are somewhat
eczema based though. They itch really
bad. A pharmacist told me to use vitamin
e oil (which I haven't tried) or a&d
ointment (used on diaper rash) at night
and cover with a bandaide. This helped a
lot. Also my doc. Gave me elidel cream
samples, and they help a lot too.

I have eczema too but I was given some
hydrocortisone cream I dont really want to
use that on my hands because it might go
worse. The problem on my hand is not
eczema I am quite sure of that, it might
be due to the weather because it is
starting to get cold, I dont know

If u think it's the weather , which it
very well could be, make sure to use
plently of lotion throughout the day.
And at night, try wrmaing some lotion in
the micro and putting it on your hands,
then wearing gloves to bed. Make sure
you wear gloves while using any cleaning
aides also, they are hard on your hands.
