Stick around for a few more months and you'll remember them no matter how hard you try to forget. They're one of the most active users on Lemmy. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out they are the most active commenter.

I did until like a week ago.

I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

What I did:

  • Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
  • I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
  • I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
  • I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (4 children)

You gave me fairly panic with that nail lines constant and I just had to go look it up.

No, nails having lines going down them is not necessarily a sign of vitamin deficiency. Turns out that the majority of the time it's completely harmless and a sign of aging. Both index fingers and my right middle finger have a very faint dark line going from cuticle tip.

Your mileage may vary, IDK about your personal diet etc. just wanted to chime in about the nails thing

I'm positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it's almost definitely because you're chronically dehydrated.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I am not so sure. As I said in the post I drink a lot of water.

So I wake up and have a cup of tea and for evening meal I have a can of Pepsi. Everything else in the day is just water and never less than 1.5 litres.

For me at least I think it was the climbing chalk and poor eating habits so lacking vitamins. I guess I’ll never truly know and it’s good advice to be hydrated.

Aahhh, plucking my fingers. It's so ingrained in my head that there is some special separate process (that I don't control) in my brain taking care of this.

My wife will slap my hands when I do it because I asked her to help me stop it but even when in my head I'm like "stop. It. Now." then one hand just moves to the other and starts plucking and I'm like "wtf, I said stop!"

The one thing that I've noticed that helps is prayer beads. I'm atheist, but they work wonders to occupy that little process in my head, I redirect all it's attention to those beads and so with one hand I'm moving the beads one click forward every half second or so all day long. That works!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Cover each of the tips of your fingers with a bandaid. It will stop you from biting them. Replace as needed. If you remove the bandaid so you can bite them, you have a psychological issue you need to address, usually stress related.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ooh I know a fun fact about this one.

In Turkey, carrying prayer beads in public as an old person means you are in a gang, while young person means you are a gang wannabe.

Similar to certain tattooos and hats in other countries.

This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Melatonin is what makes people sleep

You're thinking of melinoma

[–] [email protected] 57 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Melinoma is what makes people have cancer
You’re thinking of melancholy

[–] [email protected] 52 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Melancholy is what Hamlet had, I think you mean Melania

[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Melania is what turns people orange. You're thinking of mitochondria

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, you're thinking of Mephistopheles

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mephistopheles is Hell's Messenger, you're thinking of malaria

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Malaria is a mosquito-borne pathogen. You're thinking of maltodextrin.

I can't believe nobody has suggested vitamin D deficiency. One person suggested vitamin deficiency and sure it may be more than just vitamin D, but vitamin D deficiency can make your skin dry. Specially the genitalia areas. Also you might have issues sleeping, bone density, teeth decay, ridges on your nails etc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Isn't that just people biting their fingers?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Interesting how much people don't understand. So for u normies, non autistic people here: NO , the skin doesn't get like that by its own, it's not moisture, cream or anything, it's just we can't stop messing with our thingers and constantly damage the border of nails like that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

just to be clear: not all autistic people do this

How did you get that photo of my hand?

[–] ininewcrow 27 points 5 days ago (7 children)

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.

I used to get this all the time. Now, if I get a hangnail, I liberally drench my hands in lotion, and put on nitrile gloves for an hour or so to force it to soak in.

A family friend gets me Gojo Hand Medic, which my fragile masculinity appreciates.

I also found it works well for breaking in leather work gloves.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah. I rock climb as my job basically, and my finger health is in the bin most of the time…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

The story of my life...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago

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.

I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.
