Peeling Of Skin In Knees, Used Lotion. Healing Time?
The skin on my knees has begun to peel. I put lotion on it, but it has continued. I lotion everyday after the shower, so this is different. I drink about 6/10 oz. water a day and eat very healthy; veggies, proteins, whole grain, natural sugars from fruits and general foods, run 4 miles a day 4 days a week and sleep well. My Mom and grand mother have underactive thyroids..please advise

Peeling of skin may be due to many condition and only around knee area may be due to local trauma or infection or rarely psoriasis. So better if you upload the photo of the lesion with the above said information for further discussion. Continue healthy habits.
