I hate it because i've always taken good care of my nails and its kind of my hobby to paint them and this takes forever to go away and i cant paint my nails because its painful and it looks gross

My fingers do the same and out of no where I had a toe infection that kept me up at night! It took forever to fo away and my body had a very hard time fighting it off. Luckily it's finally okay now

Hormones!! My hands have been super dry and so has my nose. It's definitely a pregnancy thing.

I'm 37 wks about to be 38 wks pregnant and my cuticles started to peel for the past week or so. It hurts and tgey are swollen, but have no idea why this is happening. Glad I'm not the only one going through this.

I'm not sure if it's pregnancy related, but I have too! I'm sitting here just picking at one that is really sore. Maybe because of the increased blood volume? Not sure but you're not alone. :)
