I had for a while. Not that bad though.
Then I started cooking for myself.Not since I was in my early 20s, and it seems like it’s more common with young people.
Young skin,
dry and thin
Lol yeah. I stopped biting my nails and cuticles when Covid started, but now i just pick the shit out of my cuticles
I used to chew the skin from my finger nails a lot as a kid, not much nowdays, but still do sometimes, I doesn’t happen on its own
Am I not the only one? Most people I’ve heard of eat their nails. I’m the only one I’ve ever known who chews on his cuticles.
How did you get that photo of my hand?
Just put some nail polish on your fingers to prevent it from happening.
My girlfriend does this to me during sex. Peels me like a disobedient potato
Ok. Where did I put my eye gauging spoon.
Please cease existing.
Kind of reminds me of peeling a banana.
If you peel it from the other end you don’t get strings. My department in college had a thing about it to the point I don’t like bananas anymore.
I gotta try that.
Wait until this happens to your foreskin.
😬
No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.
For me it is biting and chewing the skin around.
When it bleeds I also drink the blood.
Yes, I’m a vampiric who selfcanibalizes myself.
One day I will evolve to Ouroboros
Compulsive skin picking. I wish I could stop, but I can’t.
Problem solved
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.
When you refuse to give answers when tortured! You clearly are no rat. 🙌
The perfect hand doesn’t ex-
Please tell me this is AI
Nope, it’s anoychia, the picture went viral a few years ago whe someone posted it on reddit. It’s an extremely rare genetic mutation and they literally never grew nails.
This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.
Melatonin is what makes people sleep
You’re thinking of melinoma
Melinoma is what makes people have cancer
You’re thinking of melancholyMelancholy is what Hamlet had, I think you mean Melania
This isnt reddit: melanin

Time to move on to telnet mud games.

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.
Those cracks are called skin fissures.
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 moisturized 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.
I did, till I started using soaps without SLS compounds.
The clean hands club!!
No.
Moisturize with lotion, especially if you wash them very frequently or have other underlying skin conditions such as pet allergies.
All my life
