I don't know - those fingernails and cuticles look way better than mine!
I'm not going to tell you how long I looked at this, expecting to find loss or Saddam Hussein.
You need something with hydrocortisone to soothe. Not just a lotion
I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.

If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

Guys, they got Mouselemming
Augh, I'm okay but so embarrassed!
Just gonna add, you can use a stick of lip balm on cuticles!
Why did I get in this thread π¨
Mom turned me onto corn husker's oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab'll do ya, doesn't leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.
My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker's oil, GTG.
My Grannie told me to lotion up and wear rubber gloves while sleeping to help my dry hands. I only did once, but I am now adamant about keeping my hands moisturized and covered during the winter work weeks. My job is messy so I don't mind at all.
I will keep that oil in mind if it ever gets out of hand again.

How did y'all get a picture of my hand after a couple weeks of biting my fingernails?
I can just feel this image. This is just the worst thing I could have seen tonight. Good job.
Please cease existing.

I have cracks on the corners of my fingers, beside the nail. They run deep and I have to put Polysporin with lidocaine on them to reduce the throbbing sting. It's due to a combination of biting my nails and working a job that requires constant antibacterial hand-washing. I hate it.
