What Causes Dry Peeling Patch Of Skin On Wrist?
I have a dry peeling patch of skin on the top of my wrist and it never heals. I have had it for two years. It has been bioposied twice but I was never given any medicine to stop it. I have tried a number of over the counter ointments but nothing seems to stop it. Please advise. Female patient age 51.

HI
Well come t HCM
This could be dry eczematous condition this is would be the first deferential diagnosis if this is not responding to the medicine used for eczema then second possibility would be psoriasis, every skin lesion demand the clinical observation because this is the only way to diagnose this, hope this helps.
