Since about a week I noticed something strange going on.

My skin is somehow peeling off my right hand.
Kind of if i'd sanded it with sanding paper. Like on the palm of my hand, amd the part around the nails on the fingers. It's got this yellowish rough dry look to it.

Left hand is perfectly normal.
Might it be that the nail that is reforming is using up more energy and the rest of the hand is in some kind of standby mode? lol

Water does nothing, nivea hand cream either.

(I drinked lots and lots of milk daily for the crushed bone. Alot better now. I can do pushups. yay :p)
But I'm not a heavy fruit eater so perhaps its missing out on some vitamins?
Any ideas?

You are seriously cursed or something. I think you should lock yourself up in a padded cell.

Maybe it's fungal? Sounds kinda like it.

As Ben said, it could be fungal. Does it itch? How does it feel?

If it is fungal, you can try creams that are specially for that, and it should be gone soon enough. If not, you could ask your doctor. My other guesses involve contact with certain plants or with someone infected with a disease.

Just don't "massage your genitalia" until you find out if it's NOT fungal.

You may laugh, but I'm serious.

I doubt it is fungal, I think it is vitamin deficiency, possibily Zinc?

Why would a vitamin deficiency only affect one hand? Sounds like alien contact to me. They have special creams for that too.

Well, maybe that's what caused it in the first place...

Maybe, but if it was separate he probably doesn't want hand fungus to turn into crotch rot.

Can't you get some of that free socialized health care and get real medical treatment?

Or maybe you prefer internet advice. Some people do.

Why would you get professional advice when you can ask a bunch of clueless idiots?

But yeah, you should go see your local chemist. Then they will sell you some vitamins or cream to fix it.

A "chemist" is who I would go to for MDA.

A "pharmascist" is who I would see for prescription drugs, vitamins, etc.

When theres a 3-week waiting period to see a dermatholog, it dosnt cost anything to ask a bunch of clueless idiots.

What you call a "Drug Store" we call a "Chemist", which has a "Pharmacist" working there. It call also be called a -------- though.

friend of mine has this same problem. skin peeling off on one of his hands (or both?). it's a deficiency or problem in one of his organs (it would sound like a completely unrelated organ, pancreas i'm thinking?). sorry for the complete vagueness.

A couple years back while camping my buddy got bit by a tick then when he got back home he noticed that his left hand, where he got bit, was yellowish and looked like it was peeling, but it was not. Turns out he was diagnosed with lyme disease a couple of weeks later. I'd say you fingered some fungus though.
