I'm wondering if there might be some nutritional imbalance/deficiency here, whether it is vitamin, mineral, or essential fatty acids I couldn't say, but would be inclined to think EFAs first... I don't know what you've researched in terms of nutrition, or what their complete diets entail, obviously, but am just posing the suggestion to maybe try to see if it could be something they're missing in their diet.

Lots of fruits and veggies can be good, but could also be too much of a good thing, for example, if it is displacing needed proteins and fats. Growing kids in particular really need essential fatty acids for their brain growth, these are the omega 3's... if for example they are on a lower fat kind of diet, they might not be getting enough of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, E, D, and K. Again, I don't know if they are or not, am just suggesting these as possible avenues to explore for causes.

<<<<<<These kids can be doing relatively normal things and big blister like spots (quarter size or larger)will come off and leave a very raw spot for weeks. Right now they only have smaller peeling around the finger tips but even some of that looks like it is getting deep. The one most plagued with canker sores seems to eat pretty healthy lots of fruit and veggies. They both of them have had the red sandpaper type skin every year right around christmas. The very first year that the kids had this. >>>>>
