Why Did The Skin On My Foot Peel And Have A Needles Sensations?

I am a restaurant manager. The entire bottom of my right foot peeled the other morning after my shower. I occasionally get itchy and needling feelings when trying to sleep. I was working out until both knees went bad. When I was young I ran 8 months a year about 80 miles a week my arches are flat. My calf muscles are very thick. Could this peeling and stinging feeling be circulation issues. My hair on my legs is still growing

It is indicative of vitamin B deficiency as well as concurrent keratolysis exfoliativa.
Investigate your vitamin level and you can use emollients too
