Nail Biting fixed but new problem because of it
I've been chewing my nails for years and finally managed to stop, but it has now occured to me that in front of my thumb nails, the skin in front of them is too high up. My nail is starting to grow into this skin. Is there anyway to fix this. I tried clipping the skin down so it wasn't so tall but it is very painful because skin is perfectly live and health, not dead or dry at all. Please help
If you are referring to the cuticle, which is the skin surrounding your nail, this is not abnormal. You should keep it moisturized and let a professional manicurist take a look at it.
