who do my finger peel all of a sudden, what is the cause and how to prevent skin breakups from the fingers.

There are a number of reasons causing the skin to peel.\nSome of these reasons are:\n1. handling any kind of chemical agent, without using gloves.\n2. bacterial infection because of having a depressed immune system due to some chronic illness (AIDS), (Diabetes), (Rheumatic fever).\n3. A type of chronic skin disease called Psoriasis.\n4. trauma, you injured the skin and it's just sloughing off.\n\nSo I listed some things, from worst scenario to mildest, and just watch it, if you get bleeding, then cover your affected fingers and go to a dermatologist for treatment.

don't worry, everyone has those.\nit's weird, because everyone i know has it on their middle finger, but i have it on my ring finger..... \nand mine is bigger than most everyone else's. \nit's like a huge, hard bump that won't go away, and at first i was very worried (i thought foolishly that my ring finger had cancer or something) and i got my mother to take me to the doctor, but he said i shouldn't worry, so i told him it hurt really badly, and he said i could get one of those pencils/mechanical pencils with the squishy grip thing....\nand i googled it and came across this pencil:\nhttp://www.jetpens.com/product_info.php/products_id/586\nthe grip is made out of ultra-soft silicon, and it comes in different colors. The silicon contorts to fit the shape of your fingers, so there is no pain whatsoever when writing.\nyou can order it online (on the link above) or you can find them at any japanese/asian grocery, bookstore, market, etc.\n\nother suggestions may be to wrap a band-aid around the bump (very tedious, though) or a tissue on the grip of your pencil (again, quite tedious)\n\nOR you can change the way you hold your pencil, but that's like changing a lifestyle, it'll be so hard (i tried).\n\notherwise, i dont think there's anything you could do to actually "shrink" the bump, since it's already there (unless you dont write for like a year, which i dont think is possible) \n\nhope this helps and if you are really worried, i suggest ordering the a-gel pencils aysap :0)

sounds like psoriasis.  does it bleed in little dots when scratched?  is it cracked and flaky yet?  psoriasis is caused by dry skin and heredity.  try eucerine cream or a bath in calamine lotion followed by the eucerine cream or lotion, or even try tripple antibiotic ointment like neosporin or a combination of all of that, the ointment will help heal it, the cream or lotion will moisten it, the calamine will stop the itch.  or if you have an empty medecine cabinet do you  have an aloe plant?  crack it open and start rubbin.  stay away from perfumes and bubble baths no matter what it may be.  call the doc first thing monday morning.  if he starts to swell, find it tight while breathing, or the rash gets very hot to the touch or even he gets a fever, you may wanna get to a hospital.  it could get severe depending on what it is.  i'm not there to see if it resembles psoriasis, nor am i a doc!  do a search on skin rashes with images...good luck.  let me know what it is when you choose a best answer, if you know by then.  i'm curious........good luck!

Onychoschizia or splitting of the fingernails is a common problem seen by dermatologists. The term onychoschizia includes splitting, brittle, soft or thin nails. Onychoschizia is more common in women.\n\nOnly very rarely are internal disease or vitamin deficiencies the reason (iron deficiency is the most common). One tip is that if the fingernails split, but the toenails are strong, then an external factor is the cause. Basically brittle nails can be divided into dry and brittle (too little moisture) and soft and brittle (often too much moisture).\n \nThe usual cause is repeated wetting and drying of the fingernails. This makes them dry and brittle. This is often worse in low humidity and in the winter (dry heat). The best treatment is to apply lotions containing alpha-hydroxy acids or lanolin containing lotions such as "Elon" (by the "Dartmouth" company) to the nails after soaking nails in water for 5 minutes and after getting the hands wet.  Hope that helps.

relax, its normal after a fever for youer skin to peel. its because he hasn't been doint the things that normally sloughs off the skin and it built up over the past few weeks, plus new skin has formed since the infection and has replaced all the old skin

Probably keratosis pilaris, as others have said. I have the same problem and I recently started using Neutrogena Skin Smoothing Body Lotion. It's made specifically for this skin condition (which is very common). It contains alpha hydroxy, which helps to break up the bonds between dead skin cells, among other things. I have noticed a major difference in the two or three weeks that I've been using it. My arms aren't completely smooth, but they're getting there.\n\nThere's a message board for KP sufferers (see link below). Also, some have had trouble finding this lotion, but there are many others out there targeted for KP. There's more info at the website below.

You are sunburnt. Next time use a sunblock. The peeling can be lessened by using an aloe vera based lotion  topically applied to the skin. If you don't like the after effects of not protecting your skin then use sunblock as I previously stated.

Honestly you should go to the Dr. \n\nThere are any number of reasons you get spots on your palms. \nJust a few are allergies, eczema and psoriasis though if you've been camping recently it could be lyme disease. \n\nYou mihgt not to party this week or drink too much. But you should also see a dermatologist.

This happens sometimes to me also. Put in a new pair of contacts, or try takin a break from your contacts for  a day or so. If all fails, go see your doctor.

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

It sounds like you have a fungal and bacterial infection.  If the results are back, I would suggest you take your results and go to a doctor.  Although you gave a lot of information, I'm not sure where these infections are.  I think maybe because you had your hands cut with the glass, it might be in your blood?

Well, sounds like you finger is hurt, Eh. Up in the Great White North me and the boys tape em' up and play some puck. But Just rest it and get a splint to keep it from moving and gets hit or knocked again est something. So yea, Eh, it will get better in a week or two but if its broken you probably be in more pain. If you are see the doc about it.

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

It sounds like it could be yeast-related.  There are many treatments for it.  I would highly recommend going to a holistic doctor.  Allopathic physicians will give you steroid creams that damage the skin and can cause other adverse reactions.  A holistic doctor will help you to balance any imbalances in your system that are causing your skin to act out in this way and help you to heal yourself naturally.

This is just dead skin, as the friction you produce as you rub the skin, increases the amount of dead cells you are removing.\nCombine this with dirt and you get black stuff on your hands. \n\nDon't worry about it, it is very normal. Make sure you exfoliate twice a week. This will also encourage healthy skin growth and make your skin look healthy! Get your self a granular exfoliant, or an exfoliating glove and you'll be right!

Sounds like you need to moisterize your hands better. What I reccomend is getting some intense therapy lotion. And pair of gloves. After you take a bath/shower put the lotion on and then the pair of gloves. Wear overnight. My boyfriend has the same problem with his feet. This truely helps. And if it dosen't, call some nail salons to see what they reccomend. They usually have alot of experience with it comes to manacures and problems. All else fails go to a doctor.
