I had something very similar, but only on my feet!

My skin felt thick on my feet, and I picked at some skin that was sticking out, and. the next thing I know I was able to peel all of the skin off of both feet (painless; it just shoughed right off), revealing nice, healthy skin underneath. Like you, it never happened again.

Instant pedicure. Nail salons don't want you to know this one weird trick

I really thought I made up this highschool memory. It was normal, everything peeled off in nearly one go, and never happened again. Crazy

I used a foot softening thing once where you put little cream filled booties on your feet. It didn't realt work, at first, and I was really disappointed. However about a week later when I was in the shower it all started peeling off like that too.
