skin problems
Fast Money Trader asked:


I started lifting weights and doing push ups and I started to get really dry and itchy skin on my biceps.

Also, I started using these forearm grips and the skin on my knuckles started to get really dry, hard and scaly, like reptile skin. It even started to bleed a tiny bit because the skin was tearing.

Is this normal? I’m starting to get worried.
