My skin is having something weird happening to it. The top of my hands become red and start to flake and bleed, same thing with both my under arms. What kind of skin condition do I have? I tried applying lotion and cream for dryness and there was no effect the next day.

It initially sounds like eczema or perhaps an allergic reaction. My sister has A-Topic eczema and uses either Aveeno with oatmeal in it or Eucerin.

I actually had a friend who had the same thing on the top of his hands. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to cleaning solution he had been using at work. He tried every lotion under the sun. Only medicated lotion eased the pain and bleeding, it did not however, remove the problem. When handling the cleaning solution at his job he started using rubber gloves and the flaking started to go away about a week later. I think what you are having is an allergic reaction. You should check out all of your cologne, soaps, lotions, deodorants, detergents and anything else you may handle that is chemically based and stop using them and try something different one at a time to rule out each one. Also find a good oatmeal and lavender based medicated lotion, something like Curel. It should help with the bleeding and discomfort. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Sounds like eczema or psoriasis. It can be an allergic reation to something like soap. A Dr can give you some cortisone cream that will help.

It sounds like a form of psoriasis like I have. My doctor sent me to a skin specialist who prescribed a special cream
