I took lamasil for about 30 days and then all the skin on my hands began to peel off. A very thick layer of skin began to peel off. About one week later, the same thing started with my feet. I had stopped the lamasil immediately when noticing the initial peeling on my hands. My hands are through peeling now - after three weeks of looking absolutely leperous - but both hands are now extremely sensitive to any heat or steam. Drying my hair is painful if I accidentally get my hand in the way of the air coming from the hair dryer. My dermatologist told me that his office gets about one or two cases a year where ALL the skin will peel off a patient who has been taking lamasil. I go to have my blood tested again this week.
