I've got this dry, yellowish skin on my fingers, on both hands actually, and its been peeling with these painful bleeding cuts. It's been like this for the past two months and nothing seems to be helping, not even the ointments like Moisturex and Topisal that I've tried. It's really frustrating and uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and suggest what I can do about it?

I've got these cuts on my left armsix deep, straight scars from 15 years ago that I gave myself. Now I really need to get rid of them quickly but I'm not looking to use laser treatment. I have a medical test coming up next week, and I wouldnt mind if the scars looked like an accident wound but definitely not self-inflicted. Got any advice that could help?

Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a scar revision or excision procedure, and for immediate camouflage, use medical-grade concealers, silicone gel sheeting, or scar tape to disguise the scars as accidental wounds, and consider explaining your situation to your doctor, as they may be able to provide a medical note or documentation to support your claim.
