how do you cure that problem with the skin at the bottom of your fingernails? (cuticle)

[dpopiz]

you know how sometimes the skin at the bottom of your fingernails where it overlaps the nail a bit (cuticle) is pulled up a little and it doesn't really want to grow back down over the nail?

is there any way to cure/heal it?

 

[dighn]

from experience, it grows back eventually if not disturbed too much

 

[SilentZero]

are you talking about the cuticle?

 

[moshquerade]

it's a cuticle. push it back with a cuticle stick.

 

[dpopiz]

ah yes according to google images, I'm talking about a cuticle

Try increasing your vegetable/fruit intake. I use my cuticles to tell me if I'm eating healthy or not.

Whoa, I don't think I know what you're talking about.... I can't even picture it. Does it hurt?

They turn green and fall off, I think.

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about... What exactly is the problem?

Worst problem I seem to have in that area is hangnails.. especially on my thumbs. owie.

and watching too much porn really makes 'em grow

In dry weather, cuticles can dry out and pull back. Rub a good hand lotion on/into them a few times a day and they should clear up. If they get really bad, put a liberal amount of hand lotion on your hands then cover them with a sock while you sleep.
