What Causes The Skin To Peel Near The Fingernail?
Question: why dose my skin keep pealing near my finger nail
Brief Answer:
Cause by excessive removal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
That is skin that is dead and the more you remove it, the more it will get substituted.
I would suggest that it is possible for you, to remove it by a specialist and do manicure. Then try to use Vaseline every day to keep it moistured.
If it still repeats then consider doing a complete blood count test to rule out possible anemia.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
