Peeling Finger Tips

CapriciousD posted:

I researched this site, I discovered peeling fingertips paired with a sore throat, a fever, a headache and chills can mean Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
I do have a slight sore throat and my thumb finger tips are peeling while my other fingers are tender they are not peeling. The finger tip peeling has happened before after I cut my nails down to not much left above the tip. Also I have a skin condition on my scalp that I use Nitrozol for I have been stressed lately too. Any ideas as to why my skin is peeling on my thumbs?

wow, that is amazing , can such a simple action on our fingers cause so many problems. Usually, I just get the dead skin of my finger with the other hand, and it always bleed and hurt.
