I did until like a week ago.

I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

What I did:

Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

I didn’t know about the nail ridges-vitamin deficiency thing until my lady told me recently, makes sense. She got me a case of the ensure plus for extra calories to supplement through the day and it does help. Eat some veggies, get some sunlight, maybe go to a shelter and walk some dogs. Hopefully the physical elevates the mental, I’m in a similar spot and hope you get feeling better internet stranger 👍

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for this.

I already do plenty of walking as if I didn’t I don’t think I’d be here honestly. I might look into ensure as I’ve had them from the doctor when my diet has been poor in the past.

Don’t know if you’re the same but life’s like a rollercoaster man. One minute I’m doing good and mentally happy the next I can’t get out of bed and off YouTube.

It’s like I’m just passing as much time as possible with no end goal in mind. Just death at the end.

Sorry for being dark.

I'm positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it's almost definitely because you're chronically dehydrated.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am not so sure. As I said in the post I drink a lot of water.

So I wake up and have a cup of tea and for evening meal I have a can of Pepsi. Everything else in the day is just water and never less than 1.5 litres.

For me at least I think it was the climbing chalk and poor eating habits so lacking vitamins. I guess I’ll never truly know and it’s good advice to be hydrated.

This is very relatable. Can I ask you about your age? I'm 35 and struggling with eating enough my whole life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m early 40’s. Never really had a big appetite and just saw food as a means to not die, but things are untenable right now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm about the same.. when my mental health is good, I eat better. But at the slightest bit of stress: I just quit eating lol.

I used to get this all the time. Now, if I get a hangnail, I liberally drench my hands in lotion, and put on nitrile gloves for an hour or so to force it to soak in.

A family friend gets me Gojo Hand Medic, which my fragile masculinity appreciates.

I also found it works well for breaking in leather work gloves.

I did, till I started using soaps without SLS compounds.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's a shame that every sink in every public toilets, workplace toilets or other people's house still has soap with Sodium Laureth Sulphate in. Even the products that say "gentle on skin" tend to be full of the stuff.

I tried various moisturisers for years with not a lot of effect. Swapping my soap, shower gel and shampoo for ones without SLS in them really made such a difference, and so quickly.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you tried going to a doctor to see what is wrong? PPE if you work somewhere hazardous? Moisturizing if you're somewhere very dry?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When I was a kid, my elementary school was made of bricks that had a surface texture like 20 grit sand paper. Touching that shit started a chain reaction that inevitably ended with hands looking like this. Oh you accidentally brushed the back of your hand against the brick at recess? Hope you like beef jerky skin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I remember ours (I think both schools were built in the early 1900s) being rough but not that rough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Such is the nature of my work. Is that what caused this?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

no?? you just have massive bloody spots where skin is missing and didn't have a problem with it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Hand lotion and learn how to give yourself a manicure. 5 minutes a week and your hands will thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

The clean hands club!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but I have acral deciduous skin syndrome.
