Peeling Foot Skin

by RL26, Jan 30, 2009 12:58AM

About two weeks ago both of my feet started to peel off large thick pieces of skin about 1cm wide by 3 or 4cm long. The skin continued to peel until I had practically pulled off half of the skin on my feet, with some areas left tender. I tried filing my feet everyday as well as moisturizing them for the next week, only to have this thick peeling skin return. I don't think it is athelete's foot because there are no symptoms of itchiness or burning sensations. Any suggestions? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
