Does anyone else have skin problems??? I've had psoriasis since I was a kid, and developed eczema few years back (both mild compared to others seen is also pre-diabetes diagnosis)
This past few days i've noticed the skin on my finger tips and underside of my toes is starting to peel, (pic attached, forgive the dirty nail i'm at work!)
this hasn't ever really happened unless i have been grafting hard or cleaning a lot, seems strange to do it out of nowhere, could it be from jabbing my fingers 4 times a day?! can any one recommend a good moisturized to combat it?

Hi,

You mention "grafting hard or cleaning a lot".
Some sort of cleaning agent triggering the skin reaction..?
 
The wife gets something like that ..but it's her whole hand ..the skin sheds off in large flakes ...that was some time ago ..she's ok now and we never found out what caused it !
 
It might be caused because before you test you always clean your hands first. Two of my daughters have a lot of trouble with their hands because they wash them a lot (clean freaks) and it makes their eczema flare up.
