There used to be a small bump on my pointer finger that I cut off. The area healed nicely and the bump never returned. A year later, the area started peeling in a small circle. The same area of peels constantly and I trim it off when it gets bad. I even left it alone for a month to see if that would help it. After a while it just peeled off in a large chunk. The skin underneath is as smooth as glass and very sore.
