Skin on my feet keeps coming off...

[Luv4hockey]

So just curious but has anyone else experienced this? I've been on 200mg hydroxy (daily), 0.6mL methotrexate (needle once a week) for a year and a half now and 1 auto injection pen of Enbrel (which i believe is 50mL weekly) for 8 months. I notice in the spring the skin on the bottom of my feet started peeling a bit but didn't think much of it as I do hike often. But it hasn't stopped. It just peels off in sheets at times. It's so weird but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the meds. I also bruise like a peach now which I'm pretty sure does have to do with the meds. But the foot thing I find just odd. Other than that the meds seem to be working well. I need to try and change my diet as I have started putting on weight (any tips?) And I do have the odd flare-up and muscle fatigue but when I compare it all to how I was a yr ago I'm doing well ☺

Methottrexate is famous for causing dry skin, perhaps that is why skin on your feet is peeling. I also have peeling skin on my feet. Try using something like E45 cream to see if it helps. xx

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

There are other causes of the skin peeling off. One is where the skins thickens over the sweat glands and then the skin comes off in sheets when the feet get sweaty instead of little bits at a time. Regularly removing the thickened skin can help with that - it seems quite common in adolescents!

It might be worth asking a podiatrist?
