Peeling skin on my fingers! Help!?!


Question: Last month, I was out with some friends and we were walking around town. It was really cold and I wasn't wearing gloves, so my fingers got a little frostbitten (they turned white outside that night and tingled for a few days after). Now, just last week the skin around my index finger started to peel, starting under my nail. Now it's spread to my middle finger! What's going on?? Is it a result of my frostbite?? It isn't blisters, just peeling skin...like on a foot. My hands aren't dry! I really just want to know what is going on and how I can stop it!

Peeling skin is nothing to worry about. Its just dead skin flaking off is all. Sometimes when you take a bath too long, same thing happens. No need to worry. Hope this helps to ease your mind :)

The cheapest way to find out is go to a pharmacy (when there is no else around, in cases of doctors overhearing, and ask the pharmacist what it is likely to be,) Most of them really know their stuff.
