I have peeling on my fingers - usually the thumbs are worse but over the last ten years it is starting to happen on other fingers too - first I get a hard area on the finger tip with a little yellowed discoloring with a reddish edge and then I immediately know that area will peel because the sensation is different like the layers are separating... sometimes down so many layers they crack and bleed. A P.A. at a dermatology clinic once told me it was stress induced eczema and just put a steroid cream on it- that has never helped and it doesn't have symptoms like eczema, no itching, or anything like that. I just worry it might be something worse and it's been going on so long. I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis but it's controlled with medication. It's embarassing as well as painful.
