Finger injury: Keeping the area clean and protected as you are doing is very important. With extensive skin injury I recommend an evaluation by a hand surgeon to validate your status and treatment.

What could be the cause of continuous peeling of skin underneath fingers? This peeling and healing cycle has been continuing for 3 or more months now. It also causes my skin to crack and have a small cut or open wound which heals for about a few days?
