A huge deep bell just went off in my head.
Yup, Itchy, like on the palm of my hand. A little skin peels off and it stops after it smooth,....... until it starts again?
Oh, I want to laugh out loud but not in the best way...oh, this is hilarious, but its not. Hoof and hand disease??? Nothing related to mouth....!
Nope, I didn't see this one coming. I remember the skin doc telling me I would never get rid of it...but I did....and it keeps coming back. But its only on my left hand and foot.
Hey, I just wanted to look you up and find the Source of your wisdom...cancer, tough stuff. I only had abuse as a kid...
Healin Hollers, an Arkansas company makes stuff for this.
Google "Healing Hollers, salves" or
the Healin' Holler.com
and you will find the savles I found years ago in a health food shop in mountain home, Arkansas.
I thought I was just looking to see what made you so wise. My brain must of made me do all that reading cuz it connected my itchy palm. Maybe those missing brain cells are still there....
Oh well, its relatively benign. Gee, this sure was a surprise.
Bright Wings, who thought it was morning and was getting up to make coffee...only its 1030 pm or so...
Still surprised.....

Yep, it starts with itching, then you realize there are little bumps (sometimes filled with a teeny dot of fluid), then the bumps dry up and the skin peels off. Mainly hands, or feet for me. Sometimes, it can be quite a large patch (palm, or back of the hand), or just an area on a finger; this winter, I've had both palms peel off three times. Used to swear by Zim's Crack Creme (the original liquid spray), but to my horror, found out that the company that bought up the Zim's products discontinued this one. Thanks for the HealinHoller.com tip; the salve is not pricey--I'll have to try it. By the way, dishwashing and using other cleaning/laundry products can start a cycle up. For those on this thread, I had this long before I ever went on Effexor, so not a side effect, nor a withdrawal symptom.
