Peeling skin on hands

[Guest guest]

I have a question about this peeling on my hands lately. At first it

was only a little dry looking skin on my fingers and it did not seem

like that big a deal, but then it got a little worse, now it is all

over the palms of my hands, it is not super bad, but it is weird. I

have been on allot of antibiotics this winter, could this have

anything to do with it ya think? I use tons of moisturizer, but I

also wash my hands allot at work. I just cannot figure out what it is

and it is starting to annoy me. I wonder if it had anything to do

with the penicillin or anything?

anyhow thought I would ask.

My mother was peeling terribley all over her hands and arms when she was in the hospital with kidney infections. I assumed it was from the antibiotics which she had been allergic to. Unfortunately, as she lay dying from total kidney failure, a nurse mentioned that peeling skin is very common, as the poisons are trying to escape from the body through the skin. None of her doctors had ever mentioned anything like that. Maybe you have a kidney infection or disease that you should check out.

Good luck.
