I would say there is at least a 50% chance that if you cut your thumb off, it will regrow better than before. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 08:06

  - thought about it but figured it was too obvious :) -- nm - decline Nov 3, 08:00 1

  - no one likes to point out the obvious and provide horrifying news -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 07:59
  - don't you mean... disappointed? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:57
  - I am too (especially cause I live in TEXAS) -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:56 1
    - There's no reason to compound your bad news with ebola jokes. I mean, flaky thumb, Texas...it's a wonder you're still alive. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:02
that bucket of HCl you've been dipping it in might be rethought. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 07:49 1
- But it gets me so cleeeeeeaaan -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:49
Can you think of a reason why you'd be moulting? nm - Dignan Nov 3, 07:48 3
- (stay away, amanda. might be contagious.) nm - Dignan Nov 3, 07:49
- You are a snake. (Yes) (No) -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:48 1
  - Is there a (prefer not to decide) option? -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:49

Sounds suspiciously like right thumb peeling syndrome. -- nm - Loyola Nov 3, 07:41
Sounds like divine punishment for something, sinner. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 07:38
psoriasis. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:38 15
- yeah, this. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:42
- I would think, but its not itchy or irritated -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:40 13
  - i don't think it has to be. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:42 12
    - yeah, it says in here .... - Andie Nov 3, 07:44 11
      - Hmm, I don't think its scaling... -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:46 10
        
        that's what is peeling though, right? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:46 9
        
        Well its peeling, but it isn't turning red/silver. It just peels and the skin underneath is cracked - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:48 8
        
        I used to get this when I was a kid, it was diagnosed alternately as a fungal infection and a vitamin deficiency - Reagen Nov 3, 07:51
        
        that's about what it looks like.. my wife has this on her fingertips. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:49 1
        
        she uses pine tar soap (kind you can get at any grocery store) to wash her hands.. it really helps. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:52
        
        i really think it is, but you should see a doctor, sounds like you need prescription creams -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:49 4
        
        =A= I am still uninsured. I guess I will have to deal (or have a back alley dermatologist give me the goods) -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:50 3
        
        Two words: Open enrollment. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:22
        
        Do you know how many women back alley thumb creams kill every year? nm - Dignan Nov 3, 07:52 1
        
        I'll just be another statistic... -- nm - Roo- making adult decisions Nov 3, 07:53
dry skin? did you burn it and not realize? -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 07:38 3
