    Yeah. Every few years in the Winter or whenever I get particularly stressed my hands and feet break out in red bumps with absolutely maddening subdermal itching. Biting and chewing is absolutely the only way to get proper (albeit temporary) relief.

    Two weeks later all that skin is dead and I’m peeling like a lizard for a month straight. It’s awful.

      Might want to talk to a doc about that (I used teledoc for cheap). I had terrible itching and pain brought on by changes in weather, turns out it was mild psoriasis. They prescribed a steroid cream which completely made the itching/pain go away. I put it on once or twice a year when i notice those bumps or any other symptoms and it just vanishes.

      Buddy, you got eczema/psoriasis. Both are treated the same way though. Prescription steroidal creams/ointments. If you’re like most people, that’ll clear it up almost immediately.
