My fingernail is chipping and flaking away where it grows at??!?!?!

the place where your nail grows, i guess its called the nail bed, is flaking and chipping away?


whats wrong?My fingernail is chipping and flaking away where it grows at??!?!?!
it is oveously just weak. im not totally sure what would be wrong with it but go to the chemist or health food store and get sisicea. it is so so good for your nails, hiar and skin and you can get it in a tab form or liquid. i use it and its amazing. i got my husband ontoit also as he gets dandrif and it contributes to hair loss and it is helping that as well as his nail growth.

Does anybody know why the skin is peeling back by my fingernails?

Ok, well basically the skin by my fingernails is dry and peeling back, leaving it sore and red. It's been like this for a while now but just recently it's got worse %26amp; really annoying me. The question is, does anybody know what it is, and how I can get rid of it?!Does anybody know why the skin is peeling back by my fingernails?
It could be from bacteria that gets in from your nail and under your skin. I had this for years, and it only went away when I would stop biting my nails and leave them to grow, and just trim or file them. It should also help to put a little tea tree oil on the areas and put band aids on them. You could just do this at bed time, and no biting!Does anybody know why the skin is peeling back by my fingernails?
When I was a little gal, I had this problem too...but eating a balanced diet (lots of fresh fruits and veggies) helped me have healthy skin and nails. You gotta drink water, eat lots of proteins, take multivitamin capsules. Treat your hands gently, wear rubber gloves while cleaning dishes or surfaces, avoid acetone/nail polish/harsh manicures for a while, wash them with lukewarm salt water and immediately wipe and moisturize with medicated (cortisones-for reducing pain and inflammation) hand lotions (go for non-alcohol/unscented ones). Deficiency of vitamins is generally the biggest cause. Hope you get better.
welllcan be fungus...can be detergent....best to see dermo doc and see...........
drink more water and try to keep your skin moisturized. Also certain activites like digging in the dirt could simply cause local trauma that will simply need to heal...but misturizers will help that to.

I have this really freaky pimple that is like the size of a fingernail....?

Its on my nose... can some1 help me with this?I have this really freaky pimple that is like the size of a fingernail....?
honestly..this has always worked for me..do try it:-


Use a hot compress on it (a washcloth, sponge, or anything that will allow you to apply moist heat to the area), and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, rinse it with warm water, blot off the excess water with a clean towel, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours.I have this really freaky pimple that is like the size of a fingernail....?
Pop it, put peroxide on it to kill the bacteria and dry it up.
DON'T POP IT! That's the worst thing you could do wait at least 2 weeks b4 trying trying to! Just put toothpaste on it evertday till bedtime then wash it off and use alchol,witch hazel,or seabreeze products....Then use a acne lotion on it...After 2 weeks of this try to pop it it should come right out...I've had one of those on my forehead and it kept coming back then i did this and it never came back again!!!!
This sounds like an acne cyst (nodule). It is where the hair follicle has become infected due to the skin cells / sebum blocking the opening onto the surface of the skin and those dead cells along with white blood cells (to fight the infection) building up. You could have the cyst ';lanced'; if you go to a doctor's office and also possibly injected with steroids to reduce the inflammation. That will help it resolve more quickly. However, do NOT attempt this on your own. You may be left with a visible scar if it's not done correctly by someone trained. Topical antibiotics (prescribed by the doctor) can also help to treat the cyst.
DO NOT POP It!! If you decide to pop it could scar!! It could be infected!! Instead put warm compresses on it!! It will form a blister like if that does not happen after 30-45 minutes then apply ice which will reduce the swelling!!If it is that big it could be what they call a cheese cyst which is a pus filled cyst not a pimple!! Cysts will leave scars is broken !!
I would wanna pop that so bad, that sounds awesome
I had something similar to the right of my nose. It was huge, Im telling you.





Anyway, the way I got rid of mine was a long process. I kept popping it for about a month and a half, and it kept scarring and growing back. I used some ProActive Solution (You know, the one with Jessica Simpson). That helped clear up the rest of my face, but not that one zit. I then tried some Black Head remover, but still no luck. I then started using a product called ';Oxy-Pads';. These pads are medicated, and you rub them on your face twice a day. I used the Maximum Strength pads, and in a week all you could see was a tiny scar. Now, 3 months later, the scar has finally disappeared.

What might it indicate to have white splotches on your fingernails.?

I have white splotches on my fingernails and think it may be an indication of calcium buildup. I'm into supplementation and believe I take plenty of magnesium which should take care of such a problem. I'm curious if others may have had the same experience and know of a remedy.What might it indicate to have white splotches on your fingernails.?
White spots on nails are usually a lack of zinc.What might it indicate to have white splotches on your fingernails.?
i live in a town with a company that makes zinc, all kinds of it, mostly pharmaceutical. anyways it used to spew dust into the town and years ago they did tests on residents (and we had white sort of stripes on our fingernails( like a trees rings ). they found it to be cadmium and zinc...like the kind they make batteries from.


whatever you have, might have coated your bones..like cadmium %26amp;zinc does and as fingernails grow they reveal this. try not taking supplements,or look for environmental contaminants, it might take a while to grow out a full length fingernail though, hope ya find your answer ;)

    Paint your nail white with nail polish, it may take a few coats so let the dry really good in between then use a thin tip black permanent marker let dry, then put a coat of clear nail polish over nails


    you can do this with other thin tip marker colors too.


    but you have to put that clear coat of nail polish on.
    use tape. tape down lines on your finger nails and then paint across ...then wait for it to try and tape again. At least that's what I do for french manicure so I';m sure it would work for stripes.
    get a very fine point paint brush and just paint them. It doens't have to be perfect. It may even be cuter if it's a little imperfect.
    There are special brushes made for drwing on nails. YOu can get this professionally done.
    zebra?? lol
    paint your nails white then put blck stripes on then with a normal nail varnish brush
