Why is the skin peeling off my hands???

[spacemonkey]

I've got a weird skin condition on my hands - it started off about 2 weeks ago with itchy bumps which then turned into hardened peeling skin. It's not itchy any more but my hands look gross!

Any ideas?

it sounds similar furball - i got it along the insides of my thumbs and index fingers - itchy little blisters followed by this yucky skin flakeage

My doc has said it is psoriasis. He has recommended aqueous cream. You can buy a big tub over the counter for about £2 rather than paying £6.40 for a prescription

argh sorry to hear that MB

it is clearing up slowly - I think the key is to keep slapping on the cream as often as possible, and I only remember to do it about twice a day so my hands still look scaly
