A sink full of warm water and a good soaking should help that shed come off. Once shes soak for a few minutes you can just pull it off. I sometimes hold them under running warm water and peel the old skin off. The water will go under the old skin and it will fill up like a balloon, making removal much easier.
To be honest I am still having trouble seeing the kinks. Can you get a side shot of the kink area? Thanks.
