My skin wont stop coming off when I wash. When I dry off it starts coming off like a snow storm. This is my whole body.
This is not something that can be helped with lotion. I have other health problems related to kidneys, full body bone pain, muscle pain, spasms and twitching to go along with this now.
I also have bad burning sensations on my legs, it feels like the skin is on fire, but to touch they are frozen.
Does anyone know if this can be related to something that might have been overlooked by the dr's? (50 yr old male, sick for 2 yrs)
The dr's don't have any answer for me.
Thank you

A few things come to mind. I am not a doctor, but I watch and read every medical thing I come across.
First, you mention kidney problems. Kidney disease and dialysis can be linked to any of the problems you mention. You may want to find a specialist if you have known kidney problems, and rule that out first.
Second, a lot of medications cause skin dryness and itching. My mom had something similar with her skin and found it to be her blood pressure medication.
Third, the only thing I can think of that would cause multiple symptoms of such variance, is something autoimmune. Research both Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus and you will see similarities to your symptoms.
Finally, it is possible the symptoms are not all from one single issue. Dry skin could be from medication, the tingling and pain could be sciatica, the bone pain could be osteoarthritis.
Before you start researching every disease suggested, sit down and sort out the progression of your symptoms. It might help rule out some things before you take a long list to your doctor.

You poor man, I urge you to see a dermatologist, ask your regular doctor for a referal since he is unable to treat the condition is my first advice. Other advice I would give is to consider alergins, maybe the soap you wash yourself or beding with, a pillow or something you sleep on. It is very important to have clean bedding with skin conditions. Dont give up on lotions, try aloe and cotisone cream and lots of plain waer washing is not bad. Avoid perfumes and perfumed talcum powder. Medicated talc might help, check the fit of your clothes, make sure they are not to tight, exercise and eat right, lots of fruits and vegetable and little fatty food or excessive protein, drink gelatin and lots of vitamin c and antioxidents. Make sure you have a comfortable materess your not allergic to. Get some light sunshine on the skin but not a lot and dont get sunburned. Good Luck.

Sounds like you might need a second opinion from a Doctor.
