You probably wash your hands with harsh soap and/or in hard water. Use vaseline on the cuticles at night and wear cotton gloves so it can soak in. Poor nutrition can also make this worse.Cuticle care...Sore red fingers where cuticle meets nail...HELP?
If they're red, painful, and pulling back, you may have an infection. Do you get manicures, or share manicure tools with anyone? I got a bad nailbed infection after getting a professional manicure. My symptoms were similar, and then the cuticle area got very swollen and then full of pus - I ended up going to the doctor to clear it up. You can try using an antibiotic ointment on them to see if that helps, but if they swell up, get to the doctor.





Whenever you go for a manicure, bring your own tools to avoid getting an infection.

chances are the tool you pushed your cuticles back with was not as clean as it should have been and now your cuticles are infected. Or one of your nails had an infection but by using the same tool you spread it to the other nails. Either way the fix is fairly easy.


1. pour some peroxide into a bowl and soak your finger nails for 10 minutes.


2.wash and dry your hands well.


3. put a small dab of neosporin on each cuticle and cover with a bandade.


4. repeat steps 2 and 3 everyday until your fingers are healed


5. avoid nail polish and removers for a week or so since the skin will still be tender


6. do not mess will the cuticles they protect your nailbed roots from infection when your hands get dirty.

What products do you use to care for your nails/fingers?

My nails are a little uneven on the surface (so when I run my nail across them, i can feel it go up and down) and are a little dried out. My cuticles are also a bit dry, and the parts around the edges of the nail (near the tip of the finger) are dried.





What kind of products do you use at home to treat your nails? Such as files, buffers, lotions, etc. Are there any good affordable kits that you have used that you have liked? I need something to softly file the nails, to smooth the nail surfaces, to soften the cuticle and overall skin near the nails.





I also have callouses on my left hand from guitar, so I don't want anything that will soften those up too much.





Thanks :)What products do you use to care for your nails/fingers?
try not to use nail polish, that stuff will dry out your nails and take the luster out of them if you're really concerned..





i really like the 4-way buffer they have at like.. Sally's beauty supply, or probably any salon shop at that matter. it's a pretty inexpensive file/buffer that really smooths out those ridges on your nails (in fact one of the steps is.. ';smooth out ridges'; haha) it's less than 5 bucks and it works well in my opinion.





normal lotion should be fine. i'm a gymnast so the callouses on my palms are pretty precious too. don't use the ';hand repair'; stuff or deep overnight moisturizing lotions because that'll leave your hands feeling oilyWhat products do you use to care for your nails/fingers?
You can get a nile file and file them to a nice shape and a good size. But before you do that put some hand cream on so the nails are a bit easier to file down and your hands feel soft!





Then buff them so they are soft and shiney!





Now use a cuticle stick and push your cuticles down. Now put on some cuticle oil so your cuticles are not all dry.





good luck!

If the skin around your fingernails is also splitting and cracked and you also have cracked lips, sore mouth and tongue and grainy, sandy feeling eyes, then yes it is a vitamin deficiency. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) to be precise. Sounds diff though, you say all red and sore??? Does this mean swollen and puffy?? And all the same?? This sounds like a nail fungus, really common believe it or not. If its swollen and puffy go to the chemist and ask the pharmacists advice or maybe jus go straight to the Doctor and he can diagnose.





If its the first symptoms I described go get yourself a really good multivitamin tablet that includes all the B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12). Don't buy the B vitamins separately as they work best synergistically (as a group).





Expect to pay around $30.00AUD , don't buy synthetic vitamins (the cheap nasty ones) as they are notoriously hard to digest.





Also increase your intake of foods rich in B2 - liver, kidneys, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.





PEACE %26amp; LIGHT 2 UCuticle care...Sore red fingers where cuticle meets nail...HELP?
OUCH! Have you tried putting some perxiode on them to see if they have some type of infection started? Maybe at night try putting the lotion/vasoline on your hands and wearing gloves. Good luck
if its a fungus use vicks rub it cures fungus on toe nails it should work on finger nails .

Do guys look at finger nails? i always keep my nails medium length and long, but do guys really care?

I don't think guys find chewed up nubs attractive.Do guys look at finger nails? i always keep my nails medium length and long, but do guys really care?
I think that most men really do care. And I say this b/c you touch them with your nails. I have come to learn that most men are actually clean freaks and picky about little details that you would not even think a man cared about. I know that most men do NOT like it when a woman chews on her nails, and has ';nubs';. So, medium length and long, are the best bet b/c they are good for back rubs!Do guys look at finger nails? i always keep my nails medium length and long, but do guys really care?
No most guys look at **** and arses and then the rest of the package as long you are neat, clean and tidy and pleasant and courteous. they look at the whole package not little bits except they do look at **** and arses first. Bizare i know but think about what women look at in men and its the same, chest, ****, arms and eyes and hands, and general overall appearance.
i think guys tend to look at the overall package when checking out a female





so they won't specifically make not of your nails, BUT if you have really bad nails or really gawdy nails they would remember the 'eww' factor





other than that i don't think they'd remember your nails specifically
No -- we don't care about your fingernails as long as they're not those ridiculously long acrylic jobs with murals painted on them (ack!). What we like are nice breasts and/or nice asses. For some, asses are WAY more important than breasts. For others, it's all about the breasts. Everything else is negotiable.
If a guy cares about ur nails he must be a homo. I have a question 4 u do guys care if u have hairy legs.
urs are perfect





talons are tacky, stubs are childish
I like well-maintained, medium length nails. Talons ans stubs? Not for me.
Most of them seem to like natural nails.
i usually dont notice untill somesones like DAMN cut them things... then i cut them... but no.. i dont pay attention
depends


if their nails arent cut once in a while or it's dirty


then they wont care
some care, some don't.
I don't think so. I like to check out a woman's face, mams, and her behind.

    How do you care for your finger when you are a nail bitter and bit the nail down to far and now it is infected?

    My son in law bites his finger nails and now he had to go to the hospital after it got infected and swollen up and now in pain? The hospital doctor said that it is not a ingrown finger nail its just that he has bitten it down to low. So can someone please tell me how to fix the finger at home. He has been soaking it in warm salt and water and end doctor gave him antibiotics but he is in pain because the infection needs to come out. How do we do it? Can't he can-phonic on it?How do you care for your finger when you are a nail bitter and bit the nail down to far and now it is infected?
    pain from infections settles as infection decreases.


    infections don't decrease the instant antibiotics are given.


    antibiotics take a couple of days to start to see effects in my experience.


    salt water is a good natural antibactereal


    otherwise keep it clean.


    localised infections (eg paronychias) can sometimes be popped/drained with a needle but i'm sure the doc would have done that if appropriate (and it's not a remedy for home really)

    Do you take care of your finger or toe nails?

    I use cutters sometimes and file also to make them smooth.


    But I have a habit of biting the finger nails and using one nail against the other. Do you care how they look or do you just bite 'em?Do you take care of your finger or toe nails?

    girls would prefer them clean though (like 99.99%) Do women care about dirty finger nails?
    I think its gross. Clean your nails! Its simply proper cleanliness. Even employers are going to notice your nails. To me if you cant simply keep your nails clean it must mean that there are other aspects of your life that are not.
    I don't care about dirty fingernails. I have dirty fingernails too and I usually ignore them.

    You may need to get a friend to help or get a professional manicure.

    You value your nails and their appearance very much just by virtue of the fact you asked about them. Yes, the manicure sounds like a wise choice by you, a wise person.

    Report Abuse



    if you want your nails all to be long try taking nail growth and strengthening vitamins. but if you want them short, cut the left hand often and file them down into the same shape.


    as for filing the left hand: see if you can get someone else to file them for you, then maybe you could follow that shape???
    go amd do some regular manicure
    go see a nail doctor if they have one in your area.
    file them down to shape.

    I want to ask the parents of a little boy in my care to trim his finger nails. How do I phrase it nicely?

    It is a delicate subject, but it needs to be done. Maybe you could say ';can you trim his nails? hes been scratching other children on accident'; I wouldn't mention handwashing time, because they may take that offensively like you're calling him dirty. Another suggestion would be saying '; do you mind if I trim his fingernails so that he doesn't keep scratching the other kids on accident?'; There are always awkward moments that have to be dealt with when working with others.

    That sounds fine to me. It's right to the point. Go for it.

    Why don't you just buy a pair of nail trimmers and do it the next time you watch him?
    ';Can you trim his nails so that he doesn't scratch anyone? ';





    That sounds perfect to me. I wouldn't be offended at all if someone asked me to trim my kids' nails.
    My son is 4. His nails grow so fast I do it at least 2x a month or more. I have to remind myself often. You could just say ';Oh, I made a mental note to remind U ... '; when u mention it to her.





    Don't lie or carry on like other people are telling you to say he might or is scratching someone else. It's obvious 'why' he needs them cut. Just let Mom know you happened to notice ... it's that time.
    If he's in your care, why can't you just trim them when you have him and let them know what you did and tell them it was because he scratched you accidentely! Problem Solved!!
    ';oh hey.....scratched me today do you mind if i trim his nails?'; that should let them know they need to be done without stepping on the parents toes.
    i have had my daycares tell me i need to trim my sons nails before....i felt bad thatg i had over looked it but i also understood y they needed to say something SO if you don't want to do it yourself just tell em as nice as u can
    I have owned a day care in the past and the way I dealt with this situation is .... I would tell the parents that I was afraid _______ would scratch himself when we were waking them up from tv/nap time. It would bring attention to the parents and not make them mad. I let them think it was just to protect their child and didnt mention him scratching any other children or about washing hands. Good Luck
    I'm a mom of a four year old and I don't think if you ask the parents to trim is his nails that you are telling them how to parent..maybe the don't realize that they are to long

    KEEP IT CLEAN AND COVER IT WITH A BAND AIDHow do you care for your finger when you lose the nail. It is black and will fall off soon! Help!?
    Hello Sally G,





    Yes, black nails are very likely to fall of (in fact: black nails are usually the result of a nail fungus). Whether your nail will grow on again depends on: is the matrix of your fingernail harmed severly as well? I think you can ask your general practioner for some advide, but it is very likely that natural will do it's work again ... resulting in a beautiful new healthy nail (but this will take at least 2 months after the nail has fallen off).





    Meanwhile you can read more about this condition to get to know the natural path in this situation. I suggest the topics:





    Onychomadesis (= nails falling off):


    http://www.handresearch.com/finger-nails鈥?/a>





    And: black (toe) nails:


    http://www.handresearch.com/finger-nails鈥?/a>





    I hope this helps you to ease your mind a little bit more.





    Best whishes from The Netherlands, Martijn.
    Try not to bump it.....That's the best advice....
    try to keep the nail on until it grows out past where it will hurt if you loose it. the natural nail will protect the nail bed the best. use tape or a band aid. you can cover it with a little piece of gauze if you think it will stick, or ';get stuck';
    i had my big toe nail fall off a while back, if it's like mine was, i just let it fall off and the skin under it wasn't raw since i didn't rip it off. So i'd say just let it fall off on its own and it should be okay. I was back to playing soccer and snowboarding as soon as it happened, and i didn't cover it since it wasn't an open sore. The worst part is what it loooks like while you're waiting for it to grow back... :)

    Well, sometimes if you put a band-aid on it, kids think it is better. Even when my cousins were one, we put a band-aid on someone who was hurting. They'd feel better and then the other ones would want one (triplets, now 4). I don't know, because every baby is different. Sometimes you can bite them off, instead of trimming them (I've never done that, but my aunt did).There's not much you can do for a really little baby, but for maybe 18 months+ it may work. Good luck!How to take care easy broken finger and toe nail of a 1 year old baby?
    Keep them cut short so they can't get long enough to break off. If you can't get baby to sit still long enough when awake, wait till asleep and then trim the nails. Babies nails should never grow long enough to break because that means they are long enough to scratch. If baby scratches him/herself it could cause an open sore that could get infected. Also it friggin hurts when they scratch you!

    I think wigs are fakes. If your nails are long, just make sure you keep them neat and trimmed, and not too long. For your cuticles, get a cuticle pusher to remove the hard skin off the nail. Get a cuticle cream (Sally Hansen in a blue tube works wonders!) to help fix the peeling and get your cuticles looking great.

    The best nail care product I have ever encountered is 'Dr.Hauschka Neem Nail Oil pen' It'll do wonders for dry cuticles, hard skin around the nail, and it will strenghten the nail too. Hauschka products use purely natural ingredients, no harsh chemicals.
    if you want nice, clean nails do this:





    cut your nails, cut them to like a square-ish shape


    file the points on either side of the nail


    buff your nails


    paint on 1 or 2 coats of a clear long lasting nail polish

    let it be. keep it clean
    Well when a nail falls off you should leave it alone.It should grow back naturally.But if it doesn't grow back in about a month you should talk to a Doctor.
    My suggestion would be to leave it alone. It will fall off by itself. You could cover the nail to avoid getting the corner caught on something. until it does fall off.

    Wash with warm water and a disinfectant soap such as Betadine; disinfect with alcohol; then apply Neosporin ointment and bandage. After a few days the nail bed will dry up to a smooth reddish surface, and you can discontinue the disinfectant and ointment. Your son will probably want to keep a bandage on it for a while though, just to protect it, because the exposed nail bed is very sensitive.How do I take care of finger with no nail?
    The same thing happened with me, when i was younger. My sister jammed my finger in the door and it went purple and fell off , not suddenly but after a day or so it fell off completely. I did nothing i just was careful with it and it grew back in fine.

    Dip it in hot water for 10 minutes than cold water for 5 minutes!!








    Do not bite your nails! Theres millions of tiny bugs on there. They want you to bite your nails so they can go into you mouth and slither in your body. making you sick,dizzy, and confused.





    ( This is all a lie. lol Just there is millions of bugs on your nails but the other part of the story is a lie. ) Did That make you want to stop??





    I bite my nails sometimes but if you swallow them it can get stuck in your throat.





    This happend to me : I bit my nail and then I would swollow it. After a couple years the nails would get stuck in my body. So i went to the doctor and they had to get them out. Do you really want that to happen to you? Be safe a pretty.

    For hangnails the best remedy to prevent them from getting infected is cutting them when you see them; this is easily done by using a mini scissor or a nail clippers.





    To strengthen your nails, the best thing I have found is OPI's hard as nails. It's not ultra expensive, less than $8 and it will last you for years. Just use it 2-3 times a week and you should see results shortly.

    Does anyone have suggestions for finger nail, skin, & hair care?

    I have short brittle nails, dry hair, %26amp; dry skin. I've tried all sorts of lotions, etc. but nothing really works. Where we live the weather is dry so that is why I am having these problems. I'm 29 and want to have pretty nails, not fake ones, soft healthy looking skin and hair - what can I do? Also, how do you file your nails properly? I always seem to file them till there is hardly anything left. Thanks in advance!Does anyone have suggestions for finger nail, skin, %26amp; hair care?
    I use (and sell because I love them) all Beauticontrol products. The skin care is phenomenal--it goes by the age your skin is acting.





    As for the hands and nails, we have a product called Instant Manicure that is great! Your hands are soft and smooth after, it's unbelievable. I usually follow that with the extreme hand repair creme and my hands have really improved from what they used to be-nails too. Check out www.beautipage.com/judydangelo if you're interested in the products, they really are great!





    Filing should be done in one direction and if your nails are already short, just file the rough edges and stop. If you keep a coat of clear nail polish on that will help your nails too.Does anyone have suggestions for finger nail, skin, %26amp; hair care?
    Something that has helped me tremendously is taking a supplement from Nutrilite called Complex for hair, skin and nails. My skin has cleared up and is much more healthy looking and it does make your nails much stronger as well as your hair looking a ton better. If you want to add a little bit of help fo your skin I strongly reccomend Artistry's Hydrating System. Even though Nutrilite is the number one vitamin and supplement company in the world and Aritistry is in the top 5 selling prestige brands of skin care and cosmetics in the world you won't find either in stores but I can give you the direct link so you can read about each and decide if they sound like what you are looking for http://adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com/products/product.aspx?itemno=A7553 Just to let you know both Nutrilite and Artistry products have a one hundred percent money back guarentee so if you don't like them for any reason or they wouldn't workk for you, you can get every penny back. Even if you don't go for the skin care system you should definately try the supplement. Hope this was helpful :)
    wow i cant wait till some one answers this question, im giving you a star, very good question
    yes. Im a male, and i get compliments from girls all the time about my nails. Its pretty weird actually. I used to take vitamin c and niacin which boosts the immunity and circulation and my nails always grow back super strong and super long. one reason is that i dont bite them anymore and they just grow on forever. with skin, zinc tablets help alot, and when i was taking vitamin c and niacin, i rarely broke out, this is of course with a nice facial regimend. I can recommend one if you tell me your skin type. with hair, only wash maybe once or twice a week, sometimes when you wash more you get little white flakes that look worst than dandruff. purchase some jojoba oil from walmart, or any lotion with vitamin e in it and moisturize your hair immediately after a shower.





    a female friend of mine bought the little nail buffer thing, that had all the little contraptions on them from like the dollar store or wal-mart. first you scrub them down, polish them, then buff. altogether it'll probably take 20-30 minutes if you include your feet, but theyll look really good. I had girls do it for me and you could swear i got them done professionally.





    hope this helped!

    Finger Nail Care Tips?

    I've seen other people nails, and they are white, while mine after a few days of cutting get like a dingy color. And I don't know why, could it be lack of certain vitamins or something?Finger Nail Care Tips?
    They have this stuff at Sally Beauty called ';Bubble White'; I believe, and what you do is you put a packet of that stuff in a bowl of warm water and put your hands in there and it makes your nails white. I use it here and there when my nails need whitening.Finger Nail Care Tips?
    Cool! Yeah, it is pretty cool how it works, :) Thanks for choosing my answer as best!
