Skin

Taking a small turn away from my son for a second, I'd like to comment on how my skin is going absolutely bonkers.

It started with small, clear fluid filled bumps on my pointer and middle fingers on my right hand. These itched, I scratched, and now the skin is continuing to peel rather rapidly off of those fingers. My knuckles have also taken on the texture of steel wool and the skin on the ends of my fingers keep bubbling up and peeling away. This is starting to spread to my left hand.

Yesterday, I went to eat and felt a pain in the corner of my mouth. The skin had split and so I kept my mouth as shut as possible to try and let it heal. Of course this didn't stop it from re-opening every time I opened my mouth. It's now looking pretty nasty and I keep putting hydrogen peroxide on it.

Luckily none of this seems to be passing off to my son. Hopefully it's just severe dry skin due to the weather, but I'm unsure of how to fix it besides repeatedly applying lotion.
