My fingersnails looks awful it's a nervous habit but i pick at my cuticles until they bleed. Sometimes and i put lotion and neosporne on it but it doesn't seem to help. The funny thing is i don't bite my nails. When i have fake nails put on that's the only time i don't seem to bother my cuticles and it heals and looks better. But otherwise they look so unhealthy and after it bleeds and burns i get upset with myself and don't hardly remember doing it. Especially when i can't sleep. Any advice or can this hurt my health besides the fact that bacteria can get in there? Any answers? Help my ugly hands!

you can try going to a skin Dr., i am sure they have a cream to heal your cuticles. you might want to try picking at something else when nervous or wear gloves.

some people when they are sitting around do pick at there fingernails, i do i think cause im use to always using my hands to do something like having a cigereete in my hand, if i dont have a cigerette in my hand ill pick at my fingernails and around the edge of my nails would get caluses so i statred rubbing mayonaise on themevery morning and night and wraping it up with a sock. but what i think you should try is mayonaise like i do, also keep on some nailpolish and then you can pick the polish off instead of hurting your fingers so bad. i hope this helps you out, p.s i know how you feel and it work for me maybe it will work for you.

either wear fake nails "All" the time, Or cut your real nails very short so you can't pick at yourself. Your right, it is discusting to see someones nails in such a state
