Not sure what forum to post this in. Thought I'd try post surgery since this is when it started (just recently).
I've never had anything like this before in my life; the skin on my feet is peeling off, some in large chunks. It looks like the skin is drying up & dying. I've had athletes foot many many years ago and this is nothing like that. Doesn't itch at all or anything to suggest a fungal thing going on. And I have not been anywhere in my bare feet where I could have picked up some kind of strange fungal infection to explain this (other than the hospital itself but that was 2 months ago and this is just starting now).
Has this happened to anyone else post-heart surgery? Could it be any kind of reaction to meds (coumadin, lipitor, atenolol)?
Sorry if this is way off topic & not actually related to heart post-op. I have a GP doc appt next week and I will ask him but am curious is anyone else has experienced this.
