I've got the same thing. It is a fungal infection, most likely yeast, which causes skin to turn white when wet (check your tongue - if it is white-coated, that is a sure sign). I am suffering exactly the symptoms you describe - especially on my little toes - after a shower I can literally peel off dead-whitewhitewhite skin from them, but that seems to make no impact in the thick dead whitewhitewhite skin I can pull off after the next morning's shower.
Get yourself tested for candida. But know that it is an arduous, long road getting rid of this, if that is what it is. Oral anti-fungals, Paleo diet (very strict), and I have heard hydrogen peroxide soaks help. Am only at the beginning of my own journey on this - but I hope we both get better! I find it really, really depressing - the embarrassment, etc - it has made me so self conscious! Bless you and good luck!
