Problem solved

I did until like a week ago.

I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

What I did:

• Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
• I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
• I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
• I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.

Fuck you.

Just fuck you and quit attacking me

Moisturizer

Get a brand called Cetaphil and use it on your hands every day or whenever they dry out.

I've worked in construction and I like working as a mechanic in my own vehicles ..... it means my bare hands get exposed to a lot of dirt, sand, mud, metal, oil and chemicals ... which means I have to wash with lots of soap and chemicals. In the winter it's worse in the dry cold air.

So my hands get dry chapped and even cracked and start bleeding. My skin is so cracked and broken now that I can no longer use my finger print ID on my phone. I've tried resetting it multiple times but a new crack forms and then no longer works again.

For years I put up with it and pretended I was a man that didn't need help .... but I got sick and tired of it and started using moisturizer and I really don't care what anyone says about it.

I still get dry cracked skin but not as often and not as severe.

I'm not going to tell you how long I looked at this, expecting to find loss or Saddam Hussein.

If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.

Interesting how much people don't understand. So for u normies, non autistic people here: NO , the skin doesn't get like that by its own, it's not moisture, cream or anything, it's just we can't stop messing with our thingers and constantly damage the border of nails like that.

POST PICTURES OF YOUR HAND

How did you get that photo of my hand?

No.

Have you tried going to a doctor to see what is wrong? PPE if you work somewhere hazardous? Moisturizing if you're somewhere very dry?

Why did I get in this thread 😨

Dermatophagia is a bitch.

Get some of that nail polish that prevents you from biting your nails and tastes really sour and put it on your skin instead of your nails. It won't stop you from biting necessarily but it will stop you from unconsciously biting.

Since I can remember. Why does this happen?

The story of my life...

No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.
