My boyfriend scratches his thumbs when he's nervous and now they're really tough and ugly looking......

Question

What can he put on his thumbs to make the area smooth again?

Answer 1

use a pumice block to remove the callus, at least that sounds right to me. this may be an ongoing problem . buff them while in the shower and try putting lots of lotion on them often

Answer 2

I do the same thing too, that is crazy. My thumbs are pretty beat up too. I will put fake nails on and that keeps me from doing it. But in his case I have no clue. They are permanently scarred and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. Mine have gotten much better with time, but you can definately tell I have been scratching them.

Answer 3

Tell him to stop with that habbit make him start a new one like do like a quiet hum or something.And you should put lotion on his thumbs.If that don't work than bring him to a nail place.

Answer 4

he mite not like the idea of going to a salon but he can try go to somebody who works fromhome and get a paraffin wax manicure it increases blood circulation gives his hand a healthy glow and they feel absolutly marvelous after wards

Answer 5

First he needs to go to therapy to stop doing it, then you should let them heal and put later some Petroleum made cream, like Vaseline.
