My skin under my nail became more pushed back. How do I fix/heal it?
I have no idea what really happened to my nail- but it does make me a bit angry that I kept all my nails very clean and my wedding finger became a bit weird. I really don't know how to describe it, but I took pictures just in case
BTW- the pictures arent gross or anything at all- i promise! haha, it's just that the skin looks pushed back and i didn't even touch it so i'll somewhat ';heal'; but it hasn't =(

Chances are that your nail just caught on something and got pulled up a little, or something slipped between your nail and finger.
Keeping a bandaid on it to keep pressure on the nail might help it reconnect. If not, you might just have to wait for it to grow out. However, I recently had a nail get partially separated like that, and it reconnected within a day or two on its own. You haven't said how long it's been this way, but it might be a sign that something else is wrong.
Some other possible causes are fungal infection and vitamin deficiency. Since you keep your nails very clean, it's probably not the former. Start taking a daily multivitamin if you don't already, and eat a wide variety of foods.blackheads

Skin discoloration around nail area. I do get my nails done and I'm wondering why my skin is changing colors?
You have to be very careful were you go to get your nails done. I dont have an answer for you but I can relate. I got my nails done about... 2 years ago and the woman was in a rush since it was near closing. She cut my finger and of course I didnt think anything of it since I'd been getting my nails done for year and it wasnt the first time. Well a few months later it was still sore and seemed to be getting infected. My whole finger was ichy, burning, and deep red. Then it started to spread to my other fingers. I went back to them and they told me I was having a allergic reaction. Which is b.s. since Ive been doing my nails for years. Finally about a year after the incedent I went to a doctor and they were no help and told me they couldnt say if it was them that caused it since it had been so long. Now every time its cold outside 3 of my fingers on my right hand get ichy and little bumps on them. Still havent been able to get rid of it. I dont even know what it is. Ive never had this before until that chick cut my finger. I'm pretty sure her materials werent cleaned properly or something.Skin discoloration around nail area.

You need to be more specific, im not sure if its only 1 nail or all your nails, is it painful? swollen? If its one nail, then im pretty sure you must of cut your skin around that nail by accident, and the chemicals they use on your nails must of went in causing minor irritation to your skin hence the discoleration.

Anyone try the Hair, Skin, and Nail Vitamins at Dollar General?
I was hesitant to buy Dollar General brand vitamins, but I've tried a few other things of their's that are really good quality. I've been using these vitamins for a couple months. They're really helping my nails, I don't know about my hair. I've heard it can take some time to notice a difference in hair growth. I've read on a hair site I visit that several ppl have had good results with Ultra Nourishair (GNC). I like the DG, though, because they contain calcium - I take it as a multi, so I need a hair vitamin that contains calcium. They also contain a lot of other good stuff for hair - similar to the GNC vits. Anyone use these, and how long did it take you to notice results w/hair growth and condition (if you did).Anyone try the Hair, Skin, and Nail Vitamins at Dollar General?
i heard it was good! i use another brand that i found at sweetbay for biotin only. I was thinking about trying it because it has biotin as well as other minerals. I've been taking biotin and it took me about a couple months to notice results.Anyone try the Hair, Skin, and Nail Vitamins at Dollar General?
I've gotten some of the best tips from people who buy stuff from the Dollar Store! I've heard great things about the vitamins!
One tip I got was to buy cheap conditioner...it's just as good, and doubles as a moisturizing shaving cream.
Another tip was to buy dollar store liquid fabric softener, and dilute it in a spray bottle with water, and it's the cheapest version of Febreze out there :)
I need to go more often! :)
(best answer to me?! :) )
Dollar Store vitamins work. I used to work in a Dollar General Store, I was cashier and took care of the make-up, hair care, cosmetic, skin care, vitamin section. You would be amazed at the very wealthy people, men and women, young and old, who shop the Dollar Store!! The products for the most part are excellent and much less expensive than elsewhere.
Still yet there are certain items, paper products, soaps, laundry products, feminine products, personal products, etc. that I buy only from the Dollar Stores.

How do you kick a bad habit of nail biting, cracking fingers, or skin chewing?
Ok, my nails are SUPER short and messed up from nail biting, skin is frayed from biting it off (odd habit, dont ask), and as of cracking my fingers....theyre stiff as a board, please help, i don't know how to kick these habits and they're getting worse and worse, i want to cup my hands all the time so people can't see them. Please help. =)How do you kick a bad habit of nail biting, cracking fingers, or skin chewing?
The excerpt is from source below:
Onychophagia - (nail biting)
Nail biting is the habit of biting one's fingernails or toenails during periods of nervousness, stress, hunger, or boredom [1]. It can also be a sign of mental or emotional disorder. The clinical name for nail biting is chronic onychophagia.
It occurs in:[citation needed]
28% to 33% of children ages 7-10 years old,
44% of adolescents,
19% to 29% of young adults and
5% of older adults
It is more common in young males
Negative side-effects
Biting the nails can result in the transportation of germs that are buried under the surface of the nail into the mouth. In fact, nail salons use tools that potentially affect a human in a similar way. ';If [nail tools, such as files] are used on different people, these tools may spread nail fungi, staph bacteria or viruses,'; warns Rick Lopes, a spokesperson for the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.[citation needed] Thus, one can see that many pathogens have the ability to ';live'; inside of a nail, and because of this biting the nails can potentially cause health issues.
A compulsive nail biter could also be tempted to bite not only the nail, but also the surrounding skin and cuticle, possibly breaking skin. Broken skin is susceptible to microbial and viral infections. These pathogens can be spread between the fingers and toes via the mouth. A normal, healthy (nail biting) person has a very low risk of suffering from infections.
Nail biting also has the negative side effect of restraining the use of the hands. A compulsive nailbiter can be restricted in their ability to work (i.e. writing, typing, drawing, playing stringed instruments, driving) because of the damage done to the nail or surrounding skin and/or anxiety in regards to the appearance of their nails. However, non nailbiters often find they must cut their nails to a very short length to play stringed instruments or the piano, as nails inhibit the playing of such instruments.
A long-time habit of nailbiting may have detrimental effects on the substantia adamantinea of the front teeth, promoting caries in these areas.
Extreme nailbiting is considered to be a form of self-mutilation. Chronic nailbiters will bite their nails so much so that it borderlines masochism. Fingertips will become overly sensitive to pain, usually at the place the skin meets the edge of the nail. If the nail has been bit short enough, salty foods (such as potato chips and pickles) can get between the skin and nail and cause pain and hypersensitivity.
Nail biting is, according to Freudian theory, a symptom of oral fixation.
[edit] Treatment
[edit] Behavioural therapy
Some patients have found behavioral therapy to be beneficial on its own or as a complement to medication. The first part of nail biting therapy consists of Habit Reversal Training (HRT), a four part process that seeks to ';unlearn'; the habit of nail biting and possibly replace it with a more constructive habit. In addition to HRT, stimulus control therapy is used to both identify and then eliminate the stimulus that frequently triggers biting urges.[2]
The symptoms have been found to respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
[edit] Medication
Nail biting has been shown to respond well to certain types of medication. The medications used to treat the problem include the newest, most potent anti-depressants. These medications are also used to treat Trichotillomania and OCD and include clomipramine, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, nefazodone and venlafaxine. Also, small amounts of the anti-psychotics used to treat schizophrenia such as risperidone, olazapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole can be used to augment anti-depressants. It is important to note that the use of anti-psychotics to treat nail biting does not necessarily indicate that the patient is suffering from psychosis. [3]
[edit] Other treatment
Various forms of aversion therapy exists to help people stop biting their nails. These include methods such as coating the nails with a bad-tasting substance (sometimes in the form of a special nail polish, tabasco sauce, or gel deodorant) or wearing a rubber band on their wrist and having friends and family members snap it (or tell the nailbiter to snap it) when they see nailbiting. Replacing the habit of biting nails by the habit of chewing gum works for some people. Some methods (including aforementioned aversion methods) can work by making the biter aware of their actions and finding other things to do. Keeping a record of when one bites may also be helpful in finding the root of the problem.
Some nail biters who undergo orthodontic treatment find that wearing a retainer or a bite plate makes it impossible for them to sever their nails with their teeth. This can have the unintentional side-effect of helping the individual to overcome their nail-biting habit.
Some nail-biters, however, find the effectiveness of all of these remedies to be poor. For them, it may take sheer determination to break the habit. Tactics they may find helpful include making a mental note to stop, promising oneself not to bite, and making it a New Year's resolution, or other such commitment to stop.
Like other nervous habits, nail biting is sometimes a symptom of an emotional problem. In these cases, resolving the underlying problem can help to lessen or eliminate the nail-biting habit.How do you kick a bad habit of nail biting, cracking fingers, or skin chewing?
For the nail biting they sell this stuff in stores that you put on your fingers.

Go to the nail care aisle at any store and buy an emery board with a buffer.
Buff,smooth,polish every tme you have an urge to chew.
Also, put sugarless gum in your mouth - it doesn't go well with nails or skin.
Whenever you have the urge to do it, sit on your hands. Or, you can put a rubberband around your wrist and whenever you have an urge, snap it off your wrist.

so get those

You can take prenatal vitamins or Biotin. But yes, hair only grows half an inch every month. If you don't want your hair to get damaged, break, and undo all the time you spent growing it out, first you need to chop off all the split ends. Then you need to maintain your healthy hair by getting it trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. Shampoo every other day, condition every day. Deep condition once a week. When you go to sleep, wear your hair in a braid or a bun to keep it from tangling and breaking. Wash your hair in the coldest water you can stand, air dry, and stop straightening or curling your hair. Putting your hair under heat will only damage it more.
