Hi everyone does anyone have problems with their skin. Mine seems to be breaking down. Breaks on fingers,under boobs and other unmentionable areas. Is this normal or just me. I am on day 8.

I have a tendency to get chapped fingers especially in the winter and when I quit I developed chaps on all my fingers simultaneously, which was most irritating (not to mention painful!)

I suspect your problem is similar and I would guess it is quit-related (combination of that and the cold weather I would imagine). Mine cleared up (or at least went back to normal levels for this time of year) within a couple of weeks so hopefully yours will do the same. :)

Do you have any vaseline? That helps with skin chaps.

And well done on Day 8 by the way!!:D

Oooh odd you say that 'cos I've got a patch on my knuckles on what *was* my smoking hand - wonder if it's coincidence or connected?

Nothing else yet though - maybe use some E45 or Simple moisturiser on it?

Not what you're looking for?
