At age 37, I've suddenly noticed my fingernails peeling, dull hair and skin, and the onset of what I think is acne. It's just isolated smallish red bumps that look like pimples without a head. The 'acne' is often on my neck, as well as my face.
I really can't think of anything that changed in my life that would lead to this. I've been working a lot lately (ER nurse) but my job is enjoyable and not too stressful - and I've always gone through spells when I had to work a lot of hours. I've been having difficulty sleeping for some reason. My diet hasn't changed.
Any idea what might cause this, and what to do about it? I'd ask one of the docs I work with, but ER docs don't know much about non-emergency skin things.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
