How do I get rid of the skin breaks under my fingernails?

[Mark]

I have alot ok skin breakes under my nails and they just dont go away, they keep coming back. Is there anyway to permanatly get rid of them?

Cut off your hands. 😛

What is a 'skin break'? Is that where the skin pulls away from under your fingernail? Use lots of lotion!

 

[Locutus of Board]

Wanker, you sound like an expert on the subject.

Why are you putting lotion on your hands? 😛

 

[~zonker~]

cut your nails very short and keep them that way
file the skin that was underneath your nails and is 'broken' down with a fine emory board
use some moisturizer as needed

Well I'm not talking about skin beneath my nails, but the skin below my nails.
hmm, gonna go try to find a picture for those who don't know what I mean.

[Mark]

Yes Cuticles!!! I knew there was a name for it but I just forgot it.

Wear rubber gloves when you wash dishes or handle any type of solvent. Try different hand and body soaps, especially ones that have moisturizers in them. Use lotion. Move to New Orleans.

Any of the female members should have some tips, I usually just leave em there and let them dry out and fall off by themselves.
