I take famotidine and have not had skin peeling. It is listed as a side effect that could be because of allergic reaction. It also says that if skin peels as a result of an allergic reaction you should contact a doctor right away. Have you been to a dermatologist? I think you need to go to a good diagnostician and do in depth tests to see what's causing this. Did you have any skin issues before the peeling started? A rash, for example?
(Aside from that, 80 mg of Omeprazole a days sounds like a lot. Do you have a large hiatal hernia? )

I do not have a hernia. The omeprazole is to replace the Famotidine ? For GER? No rash. The peeling was present before omeprazole . The peeling started with taking Famotidine and using the Trelegy 200 inhaler . Those were prescribed for me early on . I was diagnosed with stage 4 Emphysema and put on 4 ltrs 24/7 immediately after getting out of the ER. I was also prescribed a
Home consentrator and enogen portable. The portable was useless . After a month saw a pulmonologist and he prescribed Famotidine for acid reflux. He looked at a ct - said my upper lungs were affected . I have seen him every 6 mos for 2 years now . He sees me or one of his NP see me . They take my vitals . Talk for a few minutes . One of the nurses gave me a portable oxy test. She said wow! You may not qualify for oxy machine . This is a great reading. I said “ No it is not” .. I live in the
