I had my wisdom teeth removed 6 days ago and I have been taking Hydrocodone and Ammoxicillan. Ever since the surgery, the skin on my fingers and face have been peeling. My face is so dry, my nose, cheeks, etc. is flaking. Is this the medication?

It could be, but it certainly isn't a normal reaction. Be sure to let your pharmacy know the side effects you've experienced. This almost sounds like an allergic reaction.
