Why have i suddenly got paper thin skin and 'fat'coming out of my pores? i nursed for 35 yrs and didn't ever come across this! ?

Many possibilities.: Sudden onset of skin thinning can be caused by an overactive thyroid, or one of several other hormonal problems. I don't know what "fat coming out of skin" means. You had best see your doctor, and get tested for underlying hormonal (or other) problems.
