Hi, @crystalena - because you mentioned a skin problem you believe is related to your taking famotidene for acid reflux, I moved your post here to this discussion where others are talking about this medication:
- Famotidine for GERD https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/famotidine-for-gerd/
How long did the doctor say you'd have to be off the famotidene to tell if that was the cause of your skin peeling/molting? Are you still peeling constantly?

I tried a brief afternoon shower after 20 days with no Famotidine . As always the next morning after shower the peeling persists . See pics . Bless all of you . Crystalena

The doctor just said to stop the drug Famotidine. I had taken 40 mg daily for a year. ( skin had started peeling then.) My acid reflux was still happening , so that is ( after a year)when Dr added 40mg a day of omeprazole. So I was for the next 6 mos taking both medications .
For the last 20 days I have not had any famotidine. But I am now taking 80mg of omeprazole a day. I think my lower arms and legs are not peeling so bad constantly . I will have to admit , I have not showered since the 20 th of may. I do diligent cleansing . Please understand that . But as far as a full shower not yet . And I have used the creams and oils etc. I have a soft raindrop shower attachment .They didn’t fix it . Thank You , Crystalena
