I'm having a really hard time with fingerprint machines not recognizing my fingerprints. I've tried different machines, including the ones used for exams where they capture biometrics. The issue just keeps happening. Plus, the skin on my hands peels off frequently, like once every two months. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's causing this and what I can do about it?
