Interesting how much people don't understand. So for u normies, non autistic people here: NO , the skin doesn't get like that by its own, it's not moisture, cream or anything, it's just we can't stop messing with our thingers and constantly damage the border of nails like that.

How did you get that photo of my hand?

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.

The story of my life...

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

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.

Comment to find this back later! I'm over 40 and just accepted my hands being fucked up as part of life.

[–] aubertlone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You gave me fairly panic with that nail lines constant and I just had to go look it up.

No, nails having lines going down them is not necessarily a sign of vitamin deficiency. Turns out that the majority of the time it's completely harmless and a sign of aging. Both index fingers and my right middle finger have a very faint dark line going from cuticle tip.

Your mileage may vary, IDK about your personal diet etc. just wanted to chime in about the nails thing

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 1 points 47 minutes ago

Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours 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.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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 👍

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.

[–] PurpleGameBoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 hours 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.

[–] PurpleGameBoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours 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.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 12 points 10 hours ago

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.

My girlfriend does this to me during sex. Peels me like a disobedient potato

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Ok. Where did I put my eye gauging spoon.

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?

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

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 6 points 10 hours 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.

You joke, but I'm missing a nail on one of my big toes and it's so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

...not so sure about fingernails though. They're pretty useful for picking things up or praying things open.

I'm not going to tell you how long I looked at this, expecting to find loss or Saddam Hussein.
