    It's entirely possible for the fingertips to shed skin, just like any other body part. That being said, the layer is very thick and to me, it looks like it isn't happening entirely accidentally. More like OP picked on softened, wrinkly skin after bath/swimming, causing the thick top layer to break. Normally skin sheds more gradually, without this kind of visible edges. Continual picking on the loose skin can cause excessive separation of the layers and uneven growth. Meaning: the more you pick, pull and not let the skin come off naturally, in gradual way, the more this will happen in the future.

    Two of my children had this, the adult tooth is likely sideways in the gums and can be surgically brought down if the baby tooth is extracted and the gums are opened allowing a button to be placed on the adult tooth and attached to braces with a chain.

    Technically that isn't the white of the eye (sclera), it's an extension of the conjunctiva (bulbar conjunctiva). Conjunctiva loves to swell up. Usually it's very thin and transparent on the sclera so you don't really notice it is even there until it swells.
