I have never had this happen before, but in the last 2 weeks, my fingers have been bubbling up with dead skin...especially at my knuckles and sides of my fingers around my nails. No soap changes, or new meds, or anything...I am diabetic but I have been forever...anyone have any idea why or what I can do about it? It looks awful!!
It IS really wierd. You know, I was talking to DH about it and we are wondering if it isnt a change in the water? Maybe more chlorine? We moved from baltimore to knoxville tn and the water here smells like bleach water all the time, it's strange. I am thinking it could very possibly be the problem! But I may go anyway
I was going to ask you if you were cleaning with bleach.
You can develop allergies to your everyday use type of stuff at anytime.
Is there a paticular product you use on your hands? (or comes in contact with it)
With the diabetes note I have to wonder if it is fungal.
Those orange cleaners always make me peel like that if I forget to wear gloves.
Peeling skin is associated with diabetes. It's possible that even though you have been a diabetic for a longer period of time, it is finally affecting you in this area. There are creams your doctor or pharmacist can recommend.
It MAY be something else entirely....but I would be more prone to think it is diabetic related.
Good luck to you and I sure hope you are able to correct the problem soon.
