Skin Peeling From Upper Arm To Waist, Herniated Disc At C4-c5, C7 Diagnosed, Epidural Due. Is This Related?
I have recently been diagnosed with a herniated disc at c4-c5 and c7. I am going in for an epidural next week to see if this will help with the pain and numbness in my neck, left arm and hand. Recently (last 3 days) I have noticed that the skin is peeling from mid upper arm to my wrist... as if sunburned. Is this related and what is causing it?

Hi,
Based on details you have given you have L) cervical radiculopathy secondary to herniated disc
There is no relation to peeling of skin in upper limb ( you meant left side)and radiculopathy.
Consult dermatologist for local examination
