Day Ninety..#Help Needed :)

I was hungry..so I cooked.

I’ve finished cooking and I’m no longer hungry.

Go figure.

Yummmmmmmy 😛

So..I need help guys!

The skin on my hands are peeling..its like my thumbs, most of my fingers and the back of my right hand..I tried taking pictures to show you, but I couldn’t get it to focus correctly so it kept coming out blurred.

Anyway..the last time this happened was when I first came to Portugal in September..and it happened for about a month..then kind of disappeared.

I doesn’t hurt or anything..but it gets really really dry and then starts peeling more..

I’ve been moisturising frequently..but it seems my hands are just absorbing the creams and oils I’m applying and it’s getting worse!

I haven’t changed soaps, shower gels, creams..and I don’t have eczema (any more..I used to up until the age of 13..and it was never on my hands) or any other (known) skin condition..

I tried using the aloe vera gel..but it only worked until it dried then it peeled some more..

Do you have any suggestions as to what to do? Or know anything I can use to stop the peeling because at this rate I’m scared I’m not going to have any skin left!

Happy Saturdays!! 🙂

Can you go see a doctor? It sounds like some kind of allergic reaction.

  - Poor babies! They’re probably hiding!
    
    Seriously, you need to go to the doctor, girl! It could be something easy and painless!

  - As morbid as it may sound, let me know what it turns out to be…I wonder if you’re cooking with a spice or something that you are allergic to…

  - ha, ha…Poor Girl!! Do you want me to look it up on webmd? Or better yet, Vince Chough at The Brave Fish blog is an actual doctor. Why don’t you write him?
