It’s like having lifelong sunburn , where you can pull up a sheet of the top layer of skin. It doesn’t hurt, but your skin often itches and can get red, dry, thick, and blistered.
Because it’s genetic, this usually starts happening when you’re quite young.
Petroleum jelly, to soften skin, and medicines you put on warts and calluses might make it feel and look better, but other typical skin treatments don’t help and could even be harmful.
