adult feet peeling
by janem502
I
am a 46
yr old
female
from
Frankfort,
Ky Recently,
I am
having
trouble
with the
bottom
of my
feet. They
are very
dry and
have
started
peeling
like
they
were sun
burned. I
have not
been out
in the
sun
since it
is
winter
here and
very
cold. The
skin
comes
off in
large
amounts
at a
time. It
is
exactly
like
peeling
your
stomach
or back
when you
get
sunburned,
except
it is my
feet. They
do not
itch or
have no
fungus
or don't
look
different
except
they
seem to
have
calluses
where
they
peel
off.
The skin
is very
thick
when I
peel it
off. Does
anyone
else
have
anything
similar
to
this? I
am
worried
because
a nurse
told me
it was
due to
some
type of
toxins
in my
body. He
also
said i
need to
figure
out what
would be
putting
these
toxins
there. he
also
mentioned,
it could
be from
taking
too many
ibuprofen
since i
do take
alot of
them due
to my
severe
back
pain.

| I would be concerned about multiple
exposures (for back pain and for skin peeling) to some type of
glycol butyl ether. The one I have looked into is Ethylene Glycol
Monobutyl Ether or 2-butoxyethanol. It can be in many cleaning
products. It can be an inert ingredient in Accutane or in ibuprofen.
Accutane does have in inert butylated ingredient and it is being
named in lawsuits for Crohn's. But it could cause any autoimmune
issue. What do you clean your shower with? I wanted to know what was in Arm 'n Hammer Clean Shower and after waiting 10 days to get a Material Safety Data Sheet ... found no ingredients disclosed, but did find these warnings (an indication there IS something hazardous there): must have ventilation .. EYE PROTECTION (wear splash-proof chemical safety goggles) & PROTECTIVE GLOVES (Impervious, rubber or neoprene, gloves) OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT (Wear impervious protective clothing; eyewash facility is recommended in work area) So, if this chemical is in your shower cleaning product, and you stand in it while taking a shower ... maybe? Or any exposure to this chemical in a variety of ways could cause this. I think it is some type of autoimmune issue. Back pain might be an indication of some type of degenerative disc disease which would be an autoimmune issue for those with CFIDS, CFS, FM. If so, very serious fatigue coupled with high white blood cell counts (an anemia sign in this group) could cause DDD. http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/dogncat.htm#intro http://www.valdezlink.com/re/msn/renalliver/notwithout.htm Any CFIDS symptoms? |
