Hey does anyone have this skin problem since starting dialysis. The skin just on my hands is very, very thin. It is easy for me to peel layers and layers of skin off. My hands have always been dry but never like this???
-
Sorry about your problem.
I have no experiences with Dialysis, so I could not comment on that.
But I have heard some Lupus/SLE/MCTD-patients wondering,
if the thinning of their skin has a connection
with the corticosteroids (Prednisolone) they take?
Good luck from Kristina.

I wouldn't say mine has thinned but I do notice drier.......flakier skin.

My nurse has said this is very common. Use lots of moisturizers and watch what you bump into, cause you will start to bruise easier too. Some people are just more sensitive than others. Good luck

Hey lillupie, how are things in my birth place going?
I remember when J. did PD, my hands were so raw from all the washing that was required! Do you think it may be that? I would wear gloves to keep from the thorough wash that is required for PD. Just put lotion on them and wear gloves to ease the hands from all the cleansing!
You are still in Germany, right? How is your BF doing? Does he get shipped alot in the military?

lol I hate to admit that I cheat on the hand washing because my skin is so dry.
No, I came home July 3rd. He is no longer my bf, he is now my fiance and he proposed when I was in Germany with him :thumbup; :beer1;
Well he does spend a few years here and a few years there. He has spent the last year in afghainstan and now in Germany until September, then he is at Ft. campbell, in Kentucky.
That is super cool that you remembered that he was in Germany!

Lather your hands in lotion at night. Even put socks over your hands after lotion. Lotion then socks.

I think it's a combo of things. My hands swelled first when I was on d. So the skin was perpetually getting stretched out and then flaking off. Add in the excessive hand washing and all the funky meds - I just left a skin trail behind me!
