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

Years back I was briefly into creepypastas. One I read was a guy who had a habit of chewing his nails and that people around him always made a big deal about it but he thought they were overreacting. At the end it was revealed that he had long ago chewed away his fingernails and was now chewing through his actual fingers without realizing it. As a result he was institutionalized for his delusions, I think.
This picture makes me think of that. Thanks, I guess.

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.

You need something with hydrocortisone to soothe. Not just a lotion

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.

Pain relief O’Keefes. Stuff is miracles.

ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
I tried a bunch of them including O’Keefes but I’m allergic to something and I’ve had the skin on my hands break out in blisters. I can abuse them with motor oil and auto chemicals but if some weird skin lotion ingredient gets into a crack in my skin, my skin literally just starts to break down for some reason.
Cetaphil is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t have any weird ingredients … it was recommended by the dermatologist that treated me during a really bad break out. Haven’t had a problem since.

Mom turned me onto corn husker’s oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab’ll do ya, doesn’t leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.
My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker’s oil, GTG.

My Grannie told me to lotion up and wear rubber gloves while sleeping to help my dry hands. I only did once, but I am now adamant about keeping my hands moistized and covered during the winter work weeks. My job is messy so I don’t mind at all.
I will keep that oil in mind if it ever gets out of hand again.

Your hands are dry. Use moisturizer. Or lather your hands in Vaseline before bed and sleep with cotton gloves. You will have a new set of hands in the morning.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
No.
Moisturize with lotion, especially if you wash them very frequently or have other underlying skin conditions such as pet allergies.

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.

wuzzlewoggle@feddit.org 2 hours ago
Meant bitter, not sour. There is no way anybody likes that taste.
But even if you do, for me it wasn’t ‘this is so disgusting I’m not gonna bite anymore’ but more my brain snapping out of unconsciously biting as soon as I realized the taste and then you get a brief moment to consciously stop.

If your cuticles do this on their own, or you notice pitting on or under your nails, it might be an early sign of psoriasis.

How did y’all get a picture of my hand after a couple weeks of biting my fingernails?
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 4 hours ago
I have cracks on the corners of my fingers, beside the nail. They run deep and I have to put Polysporin with lidocaine on them to reduce the sting. It’s a combination of biting my nails and working a job that requires constant antibacterial hand-washing. I hate it.
