A member asked:
I put some silicone caulking on my finger tip a few weeks ago, causing my skin to be dry (i also see tiny dots). what shall i do?

No problem: The caulking has chemicals that irritate your skin but shouldn't cause any long-term problems. The best thing to do is to get a copy of the information sheet for the product, called the msds. Every commercial product had one that you can get online. It will tell you about health concerns related to exposure.

Nothing: If you have to do something, use a hand cream.

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?
