What to Do About Flaky Fingernails?

I just got my nails taken off and my natural nails are rough and are flaking. Is there anything I can do or do they just need to grow out?What to Do About Flaky Fingernails?
Let them grow out some. Meantime rub vasaline aka petroleum jelly over them. Every time you wash your hands, reapply and run your fingers over them as you would do in a massage. Do not use nail polish or anything on your nails until your nails are back to normal. I would also mention this to the M.D. as there may be other issues that may be causing the flaking of your nails. My doctor always checks my nails because I'm asthmatic and just by the color he can see If I'm getting enough oxygen. There are other reasons why doctors check nails which I don't really know of. I hope this was of some help. peace!What to Do About Flaky Fingernails?
I had mine taken off a while ago too. Some recommended me to do some warm milk soaks and I picked up this Sally Hanson treatment made for when you get acrylics taken off. It's this 2 phase thing, you do the first for a couple of weeks and then the second for a couple more. It was really helping til I got lazy and stopped doing it. It only takes a couple of minutes, you ';paint'; the stuff on give it a minute and then rub this oil in that's supposed to help them grow. It's nice also because it makes your nails look better so you're not trying to cover them up with anything. You'll also want to keep them short, like VERY short, otherwise they're just going to break and rip off anyway.
I'm having the same exact problem. I'll bet you anything it's because we're not getting enough protein in our diet. Eat more meats, dairy, and peanut butter! :)

I have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?

You need more calcium, or your nail polish remover is making your nails brittle. You can use lotion on your nails or try nail polish with nylon fibers. That makes them harder and more durable. Never chip off your nail polish and use nail polish remover infrequently. One study has shown that biotin (a vitamin) 2.5 mg a day helps nails.They also make some nail polish that helps make nails strong.





Hope that helps!I have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?
you might not be getting the right vitamins. you can google what vitamins to take for fingernails then get them from like wallmart, it really helps. or try to always keep a coat of clear nail hardener, sally hansen makes good ones. that really helps too, even a colored nail polish will help becuase you wont see the layers tearing off as much and then you wont be tempted to pull at themI have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?
you need to file them down and take care of them more. Clip them so they are all one length and once they start growing file them down with a nail filer. It will make sure its all even and nice. It happens to me too when i dont take care of my nails.

  • How to stop biting fingernails?

    So I'm 20 and I've been doing it for as long as I can remember.


    It's really a nervous habit if I'm stressed or worried about something, or really even just bored.


    I don't even realize I'm doing it, but I hate it.


    I want to stop.





    Any success stories?How to stop biting fingernails?
    Try:





    - Chewing gum, so you don't start biting your nails (this will keep your mouth busy)





    - There is nail polish out there that tastes bad, and it worked for me!





    - Try keeping small, crunchy snacks (healthy!) with you, so if you're tempted, chew on them instead of your nails.





    - Keep an elastic band around your wrist, and try playing with that instead of biting your nails.





    - Finally, once you stop, treat yourself to a manicure. I know this may not seem ';manly';, but I hate gender stereotypes. Anyone can get a manicure, and your hands will feel great!How to stop biting fingernails?
    Go to your local store that sells fingernail polish and look for ';Bitter Nail Polish';. I have never bitten my nails but My brother would chew his down until the bled. He got some of this clear bitter polish and it cured him. It tastes really really bad and when ever you put your finger in your mouth you get a negative response. Classic conditioning technique
    u have lack of concentration. when ever u are stressed


    1 stand up for a while ,


    2 and sit again


    3 drink some water slowly.


    4 watch the time


    5 wash ur face


    6 stare at ur face in front of mirror





    just relax. while doing these steps u ll spend atleast 10 minutes . its enough to forget nail biting.
    I'm 13 and I always would bite my fingernails until about age 11. But by then I had gotten braces, and it felt awkward biting my nails... For you, I suggest heavy gum chewing to stop, a month or two and you'll be fingernail sober!
    my dad had the same problem one day when my dad was a sleep my grandma put hot sauce on his fingernails when he bit them it surprised him and sense then every time he goes to bite them he is reminded of the hot sauce and does not do it
    Im a teenager and I used to bite my nails all the time.





    What you have to do is every time you find yourself biting, pinch or tweek yourself and soon you will stop Believe me
    I used to bite my nails all the time, you just have to force yourself to go cold turkey. I got a manicure and my nails looked so nice I didn't want to bite anymore
    Listen im also a frequent nail biter .





    Ive tryed everything .





    And let me tell you , when your nails grow back , they look even worse and more deformed .





    Just keep them low





    CARRY ON BITING!!
    There is bitter tasting polish for this problem.





    Also Marshmallow is correct, that system does work for many people.
    Eat food not fingernails
    put a clear coat of nail polish its very nasty im 17 and that got me to quit
    Take some Dog Pu and wipe all over finger nails. I guarantee you wont put them in your mouth again

    Flared nails are made from either acrylics, or UV gels. Also, nail forms must be used for this and the product (acrylic or gel) can then be sculpted into a flare shape. You can't use nail tips to create flared nails.How to make your fingernails flared??

    Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?

    Why or why not?Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?
    It all depends on what you mean by public.





    If you are sitting waiting to catch a flight, bus, cab or train, I don't think it is.





    If you are sitting at a restaurant table, yes it is.





    If you are outdoors, no i don't think it is.





    If you are at a theater, performance or the like, yes it is.





    I would definitely consider the ';public'; place.





    Of course it's best to do your filing at home or in a nail salon. But our nails don't always break when we are at home.Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?
    I'd say Rita's got it right. It's tacky to do it when you're in a place where you ought to be giving someone or something else your attention. At those times, it gives off an impression of ';my nails are more interesting than you/this,'; which is rude.





    When you're just sitting around though, and there's nothing you should be doing or looking at, it's generally fine.
    All private grooming activities should be done in private, unless it is in a restroom. That includes filing or clipping your fingernails, flossing your teeth, putting on makeup, changing your socks, etc.
    To pull out the file and do all of your nails is rude. To fix one nail that's been driving you crazy and you just need a quick fix so it stop picking your sweater- is OK%26gt;
    Not only tacky but gross. Nails flying all over the place, that is simply nasty. Some things are simply not to be shared with the world and this would be one of those things.
    It's never classy to perform bathroom chores out in public.
    yes, b/c it's rude and disgusting self centered, did I say RUDE?
    Rita has the best reply to your question. There is a time and place for everything

    What can i do to stop biting my fingernails?

    serious habit problem..


    u must change the habit with chewing sometink like bubble gum..


    myb it will reduce slowly the bad habits//What can i do to stop biting my fingernails?
    Well, biting your fingernails could be a force of habit, a nervous tic or signify something else entirely. I would suggest getting your nails done professionally. The next time you try to bite your nails, you will find the acrylic less than appetizing. Or get them done up so fancy that you would feel sinful biting into those beautiful fingers! Either of those could help you break the habit. Or you could cover them with a less fancy covering that would provide some extra strength against your choppers.





    If nothing else works, and you feel desperate you could always consider hypnotism (if you have the money).





    I would also suggest a bit of introspection to consider why you bite your fingernails. Perhaps there is a more complex, underlying reason than a mere nervous tic.





    Good luck!What can i do to stop biting my fingernails?
    Easy solution to your problem. I used to bite my nails alot also. There is no need in buying expensive things to make you nails taste badly. Go buy some fingernail polish remover and apply it to your fingers. Fingernail polish remover tastes horrible and every time you go to bite your nails, you'll be reminded to stop. This is what helped me. :-)
    I bit my nails for 15 years...and I stopped the day I got fake nails put on (for my birthday) and after a few weeks I took them off and noticed that my real nails started growing, so I filed them to look decent and then I kept them painted. If you paint your nails, you may not want to bit them as much because they look pretty and you don't want to chip the polish. Currently, I painted my nails black, cause I know that if I took even a nibble, the paint will chip and its very noticeable and ugly.
    Theres a product in the chemist which you can buy that will help you stop biting your nails.. my friend tried it and she stopped biting...





    Good luck
    put bandages on it


    and secont stop thinking too much


    i think u have some problems


    share it with ur friends %26amp; family
    You could paint them with a layer of clear varnish.
    Perhaps you could wear gloves.

  • Why do my fingernails keep cracking?

    my finger nails are constantly peeling.


    Even when i cut them all of they grow back all


    cracked and peeled.


    why are they doing that and how can i get it to stop?Why do my fingernails keep cracking?
    You are missing some vitamins and minerals:


    If you want faster growing nails, be sure that your diet is rich in Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E and iron, calcium, zinc, sulfur, and the essential fatty acids.





    * For Vitamin A, look for fruits that are yellow and orange or veggies that are dark green.


    * For Vitamin C, chop up some green and red peppers and offer them to your family as a snack.


    * For Vitamin D, look to your dairy products.


    * For Vitamin E, a supplement is your best option.


    * For zinc, options include kidney beans, rice, chicken or cheese Why do my fingernails keep cracking?
    Sounds like your fingernails may have a condition called onychoschizia. This is pretty common and can cause splitting, fragile, thin or soft nails. Since only your fingernails are affected, the cause of your onychoschizia is probably from an external factor, such as repeated wetting of the nails. If you had a vitamin deficiency or internal health condition, both finger- and toenails would usually be affected. To make sure, please get them checked by your family physician or dermatologist because this type of visual diagnosis needs to be done in person
    lack of calcium most probably. try drinking milk and eating yogurt everyday, at least more than what you're used to.
    You lack body nutrients, it happens with me too.

    How do I get a shot like this with my camera, when im doing my fingernails?

    When you put a video on Youtube doing your nails, how do you get the camera situated so it gets a good shot. So it looks like the camera is seeing what you are seeing. If you don't get what I mean here is a video.


    I want to know how you get that kind of shot.

    You get someone else to hold the camera but if your doing it alone, try using a tripod.

    I cut my fingernails to short and now I am in pain, help?

    I cut my left index fingernail too short yesterday morning and now its in extreme pain; I cannot put more than just the slightest amount of pressure on it before I experience an extreme stabbing sharp sensation of pain. It's been this way for two days already. I'm sure it's temporary but for how long? I play the Violin and I need my fingers every minute of every day!!! How can I heal the wound...numb the pain or speed up some recovery? As mentioned I need my finger to play the Violin! Urgently!I cut my fingernails to short and now I am in pain, help?
    There are a couple quick home remedies you can do:








    1) Take a pain killer to numb the pain a little. It might not help as much as you want, but it will help a bit.





    2)Put a bandaid over your finger to protect the exposed skin from making too much contact and causing yourself pain. Think of the bandaid as a mini cushion.





    3) Go swimming in a chlorine swimming pool. Chlorine is known for making nails die and grow back faster. This DEFINITELY worked for me when I smashed thumbnail and wanted it to grow back faster.I cut my fingernails to short and now I am in pain, help?
    this is the most effective tip that I could give you--





    ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS.





    the more you wash it, the faster your nails will grow back.c;
    Ouch!! I have done that before, and it hurts really bad. I always find it helps me if I just put a band-aid on that finger, around the top of your nail. Wrap it with gauze if you have to, just so you don't accidentally hit it on something.


    I'm sure it will grow out soon, and not hurt as much, those things are painful though :o(

    How fast do fingernails grow?

    Healthy fingernails grow at a rate of approximately 0.8 inches or 2.0 centimeters per year. The middle fingernail grows fastest.





    Did you know that the longer the finger, the faster its nail will grow? For the same reason, the fingernails grow about four times as fast as toenails. Fingernails are very important.





    Fingernail growth, shape and color can be all associated with various medical conditions and diseases. They provide valuable clues for doctors diagnosing illnesses.How fast do fingernails grow?
    It depends on the conditions... For instance, normally they grow as fast as the continental plates shift, quite slow right, but if you do the following thing often they grow faster:


    -washing hands OFTEN


    -doing dishes


    -going swimming


    -working with a company where you work with lots of water


    -pretty much anything else where hands get submerged in water for a while.How fast do fingernails grow?

    My fingernails grow oddly too but I notice they also grow at different rates too. If I type a lot then they have little smooth pieces where they hit the keys. Drink more milk or find the vitamin biotin for healthier/stronger hair and nails. I need to get some more because I use it for my hair but it does wonders for my nails. I like that because I'm not a big milk drinker.
    there are many reasons for that, and a firm diagnosis can not be reached by just knowing what you said..


    anyway, it could be plummer vinson's syndrome, and then you would have many other symptoms, it's more likely in females..i am only guessing don't worry, most likely its nothing bad.

    I love red nail polish with more of a cherry tint. You feel very retro when you wear it. You could start a trend. Always fun! But my friends don't normally wear polish because we go to a Catholic school where you are not allowed to wear polish along with a bunch of other unnecessary rules.

    But my nails are red right now. Chipped, but still red. And I'm 15.
    Thats a slightly odd question really. What does it matter how old you are to wear a nail polish color? I use red polish a lot. Don't worry what other people think about the colors you like to wear. If you want to wear red polish, wear it. Be different. Different is great. Being like everyone else is really boring.
    I wear red. But it's like a blood red and i'm like emo so that's partly why too. And also my mom won't let me paint my nails black. But i'm like one of the only ones.

    Why do fingernails seem to grow faster than toenails?

    Toenails' growth get stunted by our constant wearing of shoes, socks, stockings, etc. It's even covered up with blankets and sheets when we sleep. It is therefore less exposed to sunlight and air which favor growth. Toenails are often moist with perspiration and when walking barefoot it's among the first parts of our body that gets exposed to dirt and germs. It can also be quite difficult to reach when bathing or cleaning our body parts. Because of its distance from our eyes and nose it is often left neglected.Why do fingernails seem to grow faster than toenails?
    Actually, both grow at the SAME rate. Fingernails SEEM to grow faster since they are smaller, thinner and less dense. Toenails are wider, thicker, larger and more dense. Cell for cell, toenails have more mass to fill, so to speak. Also, as fingernails are so readily visible, daily we are more acutely aware of their growth.Why do fingernails seem to grow faster than toenails?
    It has something to do with us being big hairy apes I think.
    it's the same with nails, and hair, you cut more you grow more, you cut your finger nails more than your foot nails,
    it is true, toenails tend to get less light therefore growing slower.

    Is there any painless ways to remove fingernails so they never come back?

    Why would you want to do that? Leave them on! I'm sure any method of removing them is gonna be painful.Is there any painless ways to remove fingernails so they never come back?
    why would you want no nails?


    The purpose of your fingernails and toenails are to protect the tissue underneath. Also, you are more able to pick up things with your fingers, so you have to have some protective coating over your fingers - it would be very painful without the coating over the top of that tissue.Is there any painless ways to remove fingernails so they never come back?
    No, why would you want to do that anyways?
    No. You need to have a doctor do it because your fingernails are covered with nerve endings you want to preserve.
    EWWWWW NO WHY DO YOU WANT TO! GROSS
    why would you want to do that in the first place?


    wow.





    but um. no i don't think so.





    ask your doctor.
    No thats not possible because it may be painless coming off if they give you a shot or something but eventually when the shot or medicine wears off you will be in alot of pain and it would always be like that. I dont recommend you do that. Girls will never talk to you.
    Id dont think there is any painless way to do that. And why the hell would you want to do that.
    they'll always grow back.


    why wouldn't you want finger nails?
    you go to the doctor and get them frozen... or you slam everyone of your fingernails in a car door and they should fall off.... i dont recommend that though lol

    this is not funny. my exwife was actually in debt with the italian mafia and when she was unable to pay, they came looking for her. they tore off her nails one at a time. and i will tell you that it's neither a pretty sight nor pleasant sounding.





    and all because i tried to defend her, i have actually had a hammer taken to my mouth. i could not talk for years and had to learn how to all over again. it hasn't been until recently that i have been able to eat something other than soft foods.





    i miss her soooo much... it's times like these i feel like joining her. i don;t know how i make it through the days. why? oh WHY god did you take her from me?!!?!!!!!! YOU DAMN YOU!!!!▓▓▓▓▓▓ Would you rather be hit in the mouth with a hammer or have your fingernails ripped out with pliers?

    14, thumbs aren't counted as 'fingers' normally, because they're opposable, and toes have toenails, not fingernails. However, the thumbs do have fingernails.Due to a birth defect, a boy is born with 14 toes, 11 fingers, and 3 thumbs. How many fingernails does the bo?

    11 fingernails,

    None

  • Can I clip my infant's fingernails if he's only a few days old?

    Can I clip my infant's fingernails if he's only a few days old?





    My baby's fingernails have grown and I'm afraid he will scratch himself. At the same time, I'm not sure what to do with it. Could you pls give your advice?Can I clip my infant's fingernails if he's only a few days old?
    Yes you can, I had to right away with my son! He had long nails.





    Use infant nail clippers and clip no lower than the whites of their nails. The ';white'; part may still be clear as a newborn, so don't cut them shorter than the top of the nail bedCan I clip my infant's fingernails if he's only a few days old?
    Clipping baby's fingernails leaves them sharp. It's better to use a baby emery board, or nail file. These leave the ends of the nails smoother, and will help avoid further scratches. Biting baby's nails is just silly, and runs a risk of tearing the nail down to the quick, which as I'm sure you know can be VERY painful for an adult, much less a newborn. Either way, if you choose to clip or file, it's easier to do when baby is asleep. There's less fidgeting.
    Yes but usually mothers bite the nails off babies. Also, some babies have to wear special little 'mitten' type things ( I have pics of me in the hospital as a newborn wearing them cause I scratched my face-but that may now be outdated advice). Wait until the baby is asleep before attempting to cut or bite them.
    Yes you can, its smart to so they dont scratch up their face....i dont see how parents can bite off their kids nails...its gross and distrubing...best time is to do it when they fall asleep so your less likely to cut them if they move and after a bath when their nails are softest.
    I found that my daughter's nails were too soft to clip. We used mitts and clothing that had the mitts attached so she didn't scratch her face. I didn't start clipping her nails till she was around 10 weeks then I used a nail file afterwards since the nails were still sharp.
    sure can! some say you can bite them off, enough to get a rip on the side and you can rip the rest of the nail off. I just used cuticle scissors and snipped them off. Its usually a weekly thing to do to your child.
    It's best to use a nail file. Right now, the nails are paper thin and it is too easy to clip their skin instead of the actual nail. I use a nail file and file the nails.
    Yes. Of course you can. I usually bite my daughters nails as it is easier than holding her hand and the clippers. You could also try scratch mitts. Congratulations!
    you can try to cut them but its easier to use your teeth as the nails are very soft and its probably easier this way x x
    i wouldnt yet as the skin around the fingernails may not have developed properly yet and may not have harde
    You could put scratch mits on him, or yes, you could clip them, or bite them.

    Toenails grow half as fast as fingernails but are almost twice as thick - they have 5 layers of nail plate rather than the 3 on the fingers.

    I've heard that how a person's fingernails look are indication of health of individual. Is there a website I can be given to read more? I can not find anything on my own.I have a question about fingernails?
    It's true, fingernails, like skin, give an indication of a person's general health and diet. If you don't eat a lot of minerals and vitamins, your nails will be thinner, break more easily, and be harder to maintain. As well as indicating general health, the state of your fingernails can tell if you have a disease. Scurvy oftens presents with broken, nasty looking fingernails, as well as a lot of more unpleasant symptoms. Many diseases caused by malnutrition can damage the skin, nails, and hair, as well as any disease that affects blood flow to the extremities, such as diabetes.I have a question about fingernails?

  • Why do I get little white specks on my fingernails sometimes?

    they're kinda like bruises


    if you hit your nails the white spots form


    don't worry they'll disappear as your nails growWhy do I get little white specks on my fingernails sometimes?
    lack of vitaminsWhy do I get little white specks on my fingernails sometimes?
    are they brown spots? if so





    Reasons for Dark Spots on Fingernails


    Dark fingernails may be symptomatic of a Vitamin B12 deficiency or may indicate disorders like anemia.


    Half white nails, with dark spots, especially on the tip, may be indicative of kidney diseases.


    Sometimes, dark spots may also indicate skin cancer called melanoma. In case the spot bleeds into the cuticle, immediate medical supervision may be required.


    Pitted brown spots in fingernails may indicate a skin and joint disorder called psoriasis.


    Thin black lines on the nail often indicate a heart disease.


    Nails that assume a deep blue color may be indicative of a pulmonary obstruction such as asthma or emphysema.


    Reddish-brown spots on the nail indicate a deficiency of folic acid, protein or vitamin C in the body.





    Preventing Dark Spotted Finger Nails


    Never bite your fingernails and if possible, keep them short.


    In case your nails are long, file them into a square shape rather than an oval or round shape in order to prevent easy breakage.


    Wash your hands regularly and protect them from cuts and scrapes, especially while doing gardening, cleaning, doing dishes, etc.


    Wear rubber gloves if your hands frequently come in touch with water.


    Consume lots of protein, calcium, and vitamin B. Make sure to eat foods like meats, eggs, dairy products and whole grains, in large quantities.


    Take a multi-vitamin tablet regularly.


    Moisturize your hands regularly before going to bed and use a cuticle cream.


    Avoid wearing nail varnish everyday, as it hampers nail breathing and also makes mails turn yellow.


    Never use your nails as tools, as they can get severely damaged in the process.

    I know that if you like someone, ur nto going to care much about their finger nails, but would you like it if her nails were not chewed up, and dirty? It shows that a girl cares for her well-being. What do you think?

    Nice, clean smelling nails.


    The guy will hold your hands and obviously your hands will be around not in your pocket.


    I m pretty sure you will hear some feed backs from him. If you still maintain that habit. They don't want to hold hands on something that they can't bare to hold. If they know your biting that nail and those yucky things underneath. Its just not right. I know this girl she bite her nails to the point she nearly have no nails left and she hates her hands. Because maybe it doesn't look like normal hands.


    The nails represent alot about yourself, like personal hygiene. But good job with stop biting your nails, I think alot of people failed on that.Do you lik when a girl's fingernails are well kept?

    What are those white specks under your fingernails?

    They are bruises. You get them from bumping your nails on things, when you dont even notice! Some people's nails bruise super easy, so you have to be careful not to hit them hard on anything.





    You can buy things like clear nail polish with vitamins and minerals, or diamond dust to help strenghthen your nails so they are stronger. You can get that kind of stuff at any drugstore or like walmart/walgreens, just about anywhere that sells beauty products.

    Those white spots are the most common form of Leukonychia. They can be caused by injury to the base (matrix) of the nail, perhaps by picking or biting of the nails. These spots generally last around 8 months, which is how long it takes the nail to regrow completely.





    If the spots are found on all of the nails and last longer than 8 months, it may be a sign of any number of things, most commonly a zinc deficiency. A doctor should be seen to test liver and kidney function.What are the white spots on my fingernails from?
    I get those when I ram my fingernails head on into things. It jars and I think of it as a little fingernail bruise. They're not bruises but that's how they effect me because I know I hurt myself and that's why its there. Next time you jar your fingernail make sure you watch it for a few days because you'll notice the white spot comes.What are the white spots on my fingernails from?
    There are many myths surrounding those mysterious white spots on fingernails that occasionally show up, but the simple truth is that the majority of white spots on fingernails are caused by a previous injury to the nail bed. They can be loosely compared to bruises on the skin.





    If you notice white spots, also known as leukonychia, on your nails, they unlikely to have been caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. In a few cases, white spots on fingernails can indicate an underlying infection, but much more commonly, they are the result of injury. Similar to bruising, white spots on fingernails do not show up immediately. It may take several days or weeks before you notice the spots. Because they are generally the result of a minor injury, you are likely to have forgotten all about banging your fingernail against the car door.





    White spots on fingernails are usually not the result of serious injury to the nail, such as being hit with a hammer, which would more likely result in dark blue to black spots and possible necrosis or death of the nail tissue. Fingernails grow at an average rate of half an inch per month, so most visible injuries to the nail take about eight weeks to grow out completely. Sometimes, white spots on fingernails fade before they completely grow out.





    Some of the common myths associated with white spots on fingernails claim they are the result of a calcium deficiency or eating too much mayonnaise. While these white spots may be the result of a zinc deficiency, it is likely that other signs of zinc deficiency, such as hair loss or a slow immune system, would be present as well. Occasionally, a few white spots on fingernails may indicate an allergic reaction to a product used on the nail, such as nail polish, hardener, or polish remover.





    Many people who wear acrylic nails find white spots on their fingernails after removing the artificial nails. The spots could simply signal trauma to the nail bed during application of the acrylic nails or an allergic reaction to one of the products used. However, acrylic nails have been known to cause fungal infections, which appear yellowish. If you have questions concerning your fingernail health or notice large areas of white on the nail bed, visit a dermatologist and discontinue using nail products until your visit.

    it's called leuconychia. it's caused by injury to the nail, heredity, and can be signs of nutritional disorders.What are those white things under my fingernails?
    calcium depositsWhat are those white things under my fingernails?
    i have them, it means u dont have enough calcium and no matter how hard u try to cut ur nail to make them go away they dont i think u have to treat it, but ive just lived with it, since i dont care to much for my nails
    They are an indication of a lack of zinc in your diet.
    They are just air bubbles it's not a big deal or a problem it's just natural it means that you stuck something under your nail to maybe clean it or something and sometimes they just occur when your nails are growing out
    I've been told that is a lack of zinc. Completely normal, not to worry. In my country (Puerto Rico) they are called ';regalitos'; little gifts. The urban legend here is that you will receive something new in the next 7 days. Something new as in good news, a gift from someone, new job, etc...that kind of thing. So, you may want to count them and enjoy!
    the first t hing i thought of was trauma to the nail. a common example is biting your nails. i get tiny white spots if i bite my nail and they'll grow out along with the rest of my nail.





    not sure if thats what youre asking about. if not, then the answers of vitamin deficits are probably it.

    it means that u are lacking calcium

    To even them out.
    As someone said before, to even them out. Also because of the general pleasure it brings. I like to bite etc.
    People bite their fingernails when they are nervous. They usually do it when their nails are too long and they don't have anything to cut with. Then it gets worse and worse and it becomes a habit.
    no one does it intentionally


    it happens



    No purpose, I do it and I've tried to stop several times. I will be doing it and not realize it until my finger starts to bleed.
    Nerves
    it's a bad habit, or people do it because they're nervous.


    I don't have that habit though, biting your fingernails is disgusting to be honest.


    THINK ABOUT IT.



    There is no purpose. It's just a habit. The only possible purpose is to shorten them, but that's why there are nail clippers.
    there is no purpose. it just becomes a habit for some when they start. it used to be a habit of mine. but my nails look much nicer and feel better now that i've grown them out.

    My fingernails keep peelig. what deficiency is it? and what supplemenat should I take?

    The lines are slightly raised. I can fold it across the line, and it peels or breaks easily, even though very short! Help!My fingernails keep peelig. what deficiency is it? and what supplemenat should I take?
    Water deficiency!!! My nails has done that several times because I wasn't drinking enough water. Juice %26amp; soda is no sub 4 water. A multi vitamin does help but add buffing with those nail files with multi sides that has the shine section on it. That waxy stuff thickens the nails %26amp; helps stop the breaking.My fingernails keep peelig. what deficiency is it? and what supplemenat should I take?
    Biotin is great for hair and nails. You ca purchase it at Walmart for $3.00. I use it myself and my hair has grown and my nails are strengthened.
    i have the same problem just plain ol' multi vitamins seem to help

    What's the name of the skin that breaks on the sides of fingernails and stands perpendicular to the nail?

    i cut them off with a nail clipper when i spot them





    they're not cuticles, not the thing on the base of the nail





    they come up on the sides of the fingernail, ie one on a side, though seemingly never two at once, at the point where the fingernail meets the finger





    they'll catch on stuff, my other hand, or clothes, and slightly hurt if not cut





    once cut with my nail clipper they seem to disappear

    Why is this guy clipping his fingernails at work with a nail clipper?

    ...just grossWhy is this guy clipping his fingernails at work with a nail clipper?
    not sure something might be wrong with him in the head. he might be slow!


    lol


    u know what u should do... do something that gets under his skinWhy is this guy clipping his fingernails at work with a nail clipper?
    better than using a pocket knife............


    or biting them............
    Better then clipping his toenails at the lunch table
    who knows .. why are you watching him?
    He's obviously bored. I agree though...gross. Move your desk! Ick!
    Because he has no manners.





    Chow!!
    would you prefer him to chew them off?
    I have a class about 2 hours long and the girl sits beside me bite her finger nail almost untill the end of the class lmao... She couldn't stop biting haha... who ever has this bad nail biting habbit then they don't even care if you look at them lol... ^_^
    A. Why are you watching him.





    B. Would you rather him use some sort of office supply, like a 3 hole punch?
    No manners.
    Hey!





    Some people talk to themselves, others sing, and some just pretend they are R2D2 (that droid from star wars); these may be ';cute'; manierisms to most, but are extremelly annoying to others...





    Everything is dependant on each and every one's own tastes... I personnaly think clipping your FINGER nails with a nail clipper to be OK and not gross, but if the guy were to clip his TOEnails at work, THAT would be unacceptable!





    It's like people who cough right next to you and don't use a tissue or put their hand in front of their mouths. It appears to be quite normal for most people but to me, THAT's gross!





    And to be honest, that stuff I mentionned at first (the self-talk, the vocal noises, the singing, the whistling) THESE things get on my nerves like no tomorrow! And yet to most office drones, they are perfectly acceptable and ';enjoyable';.





    I must be ';deformed'; because there's the retard psycho (sorry, there's no other way to describe her) 50+ woman working in our deptartment who cannot stay quiet for more than 59 seconds... If she can't talk to someone, she'll try to sing (she thinks she has a nice voice) or she talks to herself! After 3 years of being stuck working 3 feet away from her I was finally allowed a desk transfer and now I'm 35 feet away... Meaning her non-stop audio interference doesn't have to be directly next to me!





    Thanks for letting me vent!

  • Why does it seem like my fingernails always get longer after I shower?

    Being in water actuall dehydrates your skin and makes it shrink like when you prune. It pulls the skin of your fingers back and makes it look like your nails are sticking out farther.Why does it seem like my fingernails always get longer after I shower?
    i'm pretty sure it's because under your nail is getting cleaned out so the white part (the top) of your nail looks more defined and longer because there's no more dirt or anything underneath. i know what you mean! lolWhy does it seem like my fingernails always get longer after I shower?
    I can't believe this is actually occuring,but if you think it is,who am I to dispute it.

    What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?

    i get my nails done at the salon my girlfriend goes to. She talked me into getting them done like her nails are done.What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?
    I wouldn't mind a guy with polished nails. Doesn't make any difference to me, and in fact, a guy confident enough in his manhood to paint his nails and not worry about looking gay is a major plus.





    Of course, if you're emo or goth or into some other alternative style, it's even more expected to paint your nails.





    Going along with your girlfriend to humor her is pretty cute, really. Just as long as you're comfortable with it.What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?
    lmao. Man if you are that comfortable, more power to you.
    very feminine
    gay
    drag queen...
    well, it depends on the guy, %26amp; if it's not gay looking.





    If u do it like the guy in bowling for soup does, it looks great.


    Like, black, and ur nails r still short it looks fine. But remeber not to let ur girlfriend completely take over ur sence of style.





    But if u do it like women do it's pretty weird.
    i thinnk its perfectly fine for u to take care of urself a little, Im not a girly girl, but i do hate it when guys have really ugly unkempt hands and i think that being a guy is no excuse for looking like a caveman. I think that so far u are ok with ur sexuality and u dont turn gay, ure perfectly fine
    I think its disgusting and a little unmanly! No offense but a guy should have guy hands, working hands. Not soft and girly type hands.





    Huge turn off.
    well usually she thinks he is rather feminine and she thinks it is quite cute but she might think you are doing it as a joke and if you are not then she really just will want to be freinds
    ew
    It's one thing to get a manicure for grooming but to get a full set and polish, it's another thing. :(
    Well, although it is kind of feminine, I would rather have a guy with clean nails than one with disgusting ones.
    2 words: ga ay
    Gay...... Not that there's anything wrong with that! (except that you're still in the closet)
    It will bring a lot of things into question:


    Your sexual preference, for one


    Your normalcy, for another


    I don't think it will give a positive impression, overall.
    Yes, it's quite feminine, but there's nothing wrong with it if you like getting your nails done. My preference as a girl, is that guys should just clean under their nails and leave the rest of their nails alone. Because for some guys who don't pay any attention to their nails, meaning they don't even clean under their nails, it starts turning black underneath their nails and it's quite disgusting. But if you get acrylic nails or any type of fake nails and/or get nail polish put on your nails (whether they're fake or not) is a bit overboard. But if you like keeping your nails nice, neat, and clean, you could just go to the nail salon and have them push your cuticles back, clean under your nails, and get your nails cut, filed, and buffed. It will leave your nails feeling fresh, new, and clean, without all the girly acrylic nails and/or nail polish. Hope this helps =)!!
    Too femme.
    The better question is ';Did you ENJOY getting ur nails done like a girl?''....but neways........do wt u want ....i guess
    Metrosexual...some may think it's kind of gay...others may think you're just taking care of yourself....metrosexual....
    Girls that do that are substituting their boyfriend for their girl that is a friend. Make sure she doesn't turn u gay. Tell her u are a man NOT ur girlfriend (like a friend that is a girl) !
    Ummm...they think they are intouch with their feminine side (not like being gay, but like being nice to their Mom).





    My boyfriend does the same thing.

    How do you remove fake fingernails?

    soak your nails in warm water for 10 mins then they pop right off (btw the warmer the water the easier they are to get off)How do you remove fake fingernails?
    Hot water, and if that fails try alcohol like vodka to remove them. If all fail, rip them off.How do you remove fake fingernails?
    An angle grinder.
    they remove by themselves...you just have to let days pass...i used fake nails once and i just waited like 4 days and then I just took them off with my fingers...hope my advice works! :)
    soak them in acetone nail polish remover for like 2 min. on each finger nail, they shud come right off
    go to a beauty supply store and buy acetone. then go home and soak your fingers and the nails will just pop off!
    I would recommend letting us professionals do the dirty work. But if you want to do it yourself purchase some acetone at Sallys and use two old glass bowls. It's called to double boiler method.


    1. Fill the first bowl (preferable a little larger one) with very hot water.


    2. Put enough acetone in the second bowl so that all of your fingernails will be submerged in the acetone. You will feel the acetone heating up. This means it is starting to break down the acrylic.


    3. Put the smaller bowl into the hot water bowl. Wait for a few minutes until the acetone heats up. Using a cuticle pusher, orange wood stick start scraping the acetone off layer by layer. You can also use a nail file (gently)


    Just remember that as soon as you take your hand out of the acetone it will start to harden within a few moments. It should take approximately 1/2 hour to completely remove all the acetone. Discard the acetone. Do not throw it down the drain. Best bet is to put the bowl outside or somewhere well ventilated and put some paper towels submerged in the acetone. It will evaporate into the air.


    Wash your hands, buff or apply a nail hardener.
    actually, i just got mine removed yesterday at the salon.





    were these ones you bought at a drugstore and put on yourself? if they are, it usually says on the box but im sure if you soak your fingernails in hot water or alcohol they will come off. hot water will melt the glue.


    DO NOT PULL THEM OFF. well, i guess you could, but when you pull them off it also takes part of your nail with it, like the top 3 layers or something.





    if you got yours put on by a salon, you should go back to the salon to get them removed, plus you get your hands pampered and massaged and it feels real nice. i would know, i got mine off yesterday.





    oh yeah and i dont know if they are gel or bio gel or acrylic so it really depends.
    Soak them in acetone (nail polish remover) for 5-10 minutes. Once they are soft, you can use a cuticle cutter and take them off. Removing nails leaves a ridge in your nail from where they had to buff and add the acrylic. It also leaves excess glue and acrylic gunk. Then you have to peel off the excess nail pieces that stick to your nail.


    I would recomend going to a nail salon tho. It costs about 20-30 depending on where you live. They have better tools for removing the nails and will file and buff them for you when they are off so they dont look so damaged.

    Does anyone else have dirty fingernails?

    It doesn't matter if they are long, short or somewhere in between My nails are always dirty underneath. I try cleaning them every chance I get, but they are dirty again 5 minutes later! Anyone with the same problem? How do you keep them clean? I have a job as a medical assistant and must keep them clean for sanitary purposes. Any answers will help!Does anyone else have dirty fingernails?
    Clean them with a soft toothbrush, is what i do when i need to clean mine. But i'm outdoors a lot, and playing with things like cars and bikes. Why are yours dirty?Does anyone else have dirty fingernails?
    I have the same problem and I to am a medical assistant. I was constantly washing my hands but nothin worked sometimes theyd still be dirty after there scrubbed but i think it could also be just from the air. i can wash my hands no dirt not touch anything and there back dirty again but try gettin your nails done. i get the sports length acrlics and they work very well for me easy to work with.
    I have the same prob! I tried everything and nothing worked! i just gave up! sorry!
    Hi dear,


    I do hav the same problem. Realize that urs nails become dirty only when they are not very short or not very long. If u like short nails cut them 2 ur skin level and dont grow further. If u like long ones grow them long enough. Dont be in between. Try it and see u'll not get ur nails dirty.
    I get this too. I will be doing nothing dirty all day and then I can see a line of dirt under my nail. Showers usually clean them completely, but painting your nails often hides the dirt.
    You must be doing something like scratching your hair or handling very nasty things for dirt to jusr acculmulate like that. I am a nursing student and I must keep my nails beautiful at all times so I keep them as short as I possibly can. Dirt usually comes out when you wash your hands and take showers. My advice to you is to cut them very short.
    Scratch your nails on a bar of clean soap. Just rinse when you feel it is dirty. Be gentle as not to break your nails.

    Moms- how much attention do you pay to your kids fingernails? How often do you cut them? Do you use clippers?

    I cut my 4-year-old's fingernails and toenails with clippers when I realize that they are getting too long. I only cut them after his bath because he always has gross dirt and stuff under them otherwise. I let him watch America's Funniest Home Videos as a special treat when I cut his nails. When he was a baby I cut his nails with scissors while he was nursing. My 14 month old daughter will not let me cut her nails no matter what. I can not distract her with anything enough to let me do it. They few times I tried, she was so squirmmy that I ended up cutting her and I felt terrible. Now I just let her nails go, and they seem to be doing fine. They just break off when they get too long, and we've had no problems.Moms- how much attention do you pay to your kids fingernails? How often do you cut them? Do you use clippers?
    Dirty nails are a pet peeve of mine. I check the kids a few times a week. It drives me nuts to see a little kids with dirty finger/toe nails. Ick.Moms- how much attention do you pay to your kids fingernails? How often do you cut them? Do you use clippers?
    Hey there Betty F, I check my kids' nails about once a week and cut them with clippers. By the way, I noticed you have only asked questions about fingernails. What's up with that? You think about nails a lot? Are you a manicurist or something?
    I think using a fingernail file is easier plus the child doesn't see these ';instrument looking things'; coming at him. He would be afraid the clippers would hurt. I check them often for hangnails and rough edges and use a file, one of those cheap ones, not the metal ones.
    I pay allot of attention to them. I can tell allot by the growth of them on my little one. I keep them clean and clip them with clippers (they were so small I had to use manicuring scissors)and then we file them to get rid of the ruff edges. My little one do not grow very fast at times. So sometimes once a week or two times a week.

    It has always been just the index fingers most of my adult life...have noticed in past 6 mos or so that my middle fingers are starting to do the same, and the curvature of the index fingers is getting worse. Am I just getting old, (am 45) or is this the sign of something else? 3 Doctors have not been able to give me any clues. But one suggested I see a cardiologist. ??

    Why girls are more anxious to let their fingernails to grow whereas boys are against the practice?

    It comes from times when we had more Victorian standards about how girls and boys should behave. The men went to work, in the factory or out on the farm. Long fingernails just got in the way, and if they weren't cut off would eventually rip off on their own. By contrast, women were encouraged to stay inside, doing jobs like cooking and cleaning where they were more likely to be able to grow long nails. The richest women had servants to do all this for them, and were able to grow long nails because they didn't do anything at all. This became stylish, since the longer your nails were, the more money people assumed you had.Why girls are more anxious to let their fingernails to grow whereas boys are against the practice?
    I have NOOOO idea!!! Man, that's a good question. I think it's a cultural thing. Probably got passed down from ages passed.Why girls are more anxious to let their fingernails to grow whereas boys are against the practice?
    Not all men are against the practice. There are many out there that I have seen with longer fingernails than the average woman's nails. It depends on the preference.
    More than 1/2 the boys i know have long nails. I on the other hand keep mine short...LoL!! I really think it depends on the person
    Because they are at the sharp end.
    Because girls will decorate their nails and all that stuff. Guys won't do that usually, unless you're Lance Bass.
    Long fingernails are considered feminine and grown up. Think about it.
    Because society sees it as a sign of femininity...
    longer fingernails make your fingers look longer, leaner, and over all more feminine..I wouldn't want my bf to have feminine hands and i doubt you want your bf's hands to look like yours :D
    I am not! I hate long fingernails! Besides I have small hands, it looks weird. But I still keep them long enough to..
    cuzx girls like to paint their nails, longer nails= pretty manicure. and guys don't//
    not true





    males in the ghetto do let their finger nails grow





    I grow my thumbs and pinky's but cut the rest
    We boys don't like to scratch.
    society dictates it, although I have seen a couple of men with long nails.


    ok on one it was just a pinky and he used it to sniff white stuff up his nose...
    uhh.. so we can get manicures and boys just really don't care.

  • How do I get sand out of my fingernails?

    I got sand/dirt really really deep under my fingernails, and it doesn't wash out. now it hurts whenever i touch the finger. help??How do I get sand out of my fingernails?
    either cut your nails short, or it will eventually wash out. there is nothing really you can do, but wait. dont pick at it, thats why it hurts. if it gets infected, see a doctor, cause maybe its not sand. goodluck =)

    What are those little white marks on your fingernails?

    Medically speaking, those little white marks that sometimes appear as dots or lines on the fingernail are known as leukonychia. There are several possible causes for the discoloration, but the most common are mild trauma, a fungal infection, skin conditions, or nutritional deficiencies.


    This WebMDHealth column gives an overview of how leukonychia can occur. For example, if you accidentally slam your fingernail into an object, a white mark will likely develop. But because a normal fingernail takes months to grow, by the time a blemish appears you may have forgotten what caused the trauma.





    White marks on your nails that are more linear could be a sign of a fungal infection. Gyms and nail salons are hotbeds for fungus and yeast, and are common places for contracting infections. These infections attack your nail directly, causing discoloration and even separation from the nailbed. If you suspect that's the cause for the white on your claws, see a dermatologist about a culture sample and diagnosis.





    Another culprit, although not as common, is psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that causes red, irritated blemishes and scaling throughout the body. In extreme cases, fingernails are affected by dead skin cells that accumulate in the nailbed and form thick layers, also known as ';plaque.'; Treatment varies from prescription creams to ultraviolet light therapy.





    Finally, an old wives' tale fingers another suspect: your diet. In folklore, the most commonly cited cause for those white marks (and probably something your mom warned you about) is a deficiency of certain minerals in your body, such as zinc and calcium. Adding nutritional supplements or foods containing these minerals to your diet could clear up your white flecks in a few months.What are those little white marks on your fingernails?

    Reflexes and sensation in hands and feet is important, but I am unaware of the nails having any diagnostic significance. Really long nails will curl under in normal people.

    Does anyone know if you can remove gel fingernails at home by yourself?

    Buy some acetone from wal-mart and soak them just like they would at the salon. That's what I didDoes anyone know if you can remove gel fingernails at home by yourself?
    yes u can wash your hands with soap real good and it should come out.Does anyone know if you can remove gel fingernails at home by yourself?
    YOU COULD BUT IT'S GONNA HURT! SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL LET THE CHINY MAN DO IT
    You can remove them yourself w/an acetone soak.


    Between 20-30 minutes you should see how they are starting to come off.
    Soak your fingers in acetone until nails are soft and then gently peal off. This may hurt a little and take a while for the gel to soften.





    Remember to wash with soap and water after you are done to prevent your nails %26amp; hands from drying out further!

    ur mom is rite its lack of cacium..start drinkin milk it will go
    it's definatly not from lying and it's not lack of calcium all they bare is bruises you might notice people who work with there hands alot have them some people are more prone to bruising than others
    Its a lack of some type of vitamin..
    dont know but i got one now.
    It means your body is short of a certain vitamin.
    I was always told it was a lack of calcium, but that's not true. Your nails are made up mostly of keratin and those little white patches are similar to bruises that you get on your skin. Basically you've hit or in some other way damaged your nail or nail bed in some way. Toatally harmless and they grow out in 6-10 weeks. The medical name for them is 'leukonychia'.Occasionally, a few white spots on fingernails may indicate an allergic reaction to a product used on the nail, such as nail polish, hardener, or polish remover. A rare cause is zinc deficiency, but other symptoms would also be present such as hair loss.
    they are more than likely, the result of a trauma to the nail and are very common. Occasionally they may indicate a zinc deficiency or in some cases they can also indicate liver or kidney disease. In most cases, you simply injured the nail and it will disappear as the nail grows out
    omg i thought it was only me that got them!! um i was told its lack of calcium!!
