Scrolling through Reddit last night and happened to see this YouTube channel recommended for how to take care of nails:
I’m feeling hopeful!

Tore my nails off down to the quick last night. I was watching a movie before bed, which I don’t normally do. They’ll grow back in two weeks if I leave them alone.

I’ve been watching and rewatching some of her videos this morning: The Salon Life - YouTube. What I thought was the cuticle is actually the proximal nail fold. Very educational for me. I’m going to try and commit to putting kerasal on my nails every night this week and continue oiling my nails after washing my hands when I can.

I have a dentist appointment on Tuesday, so I’m going to commit to not picking my lips starting now. Otherwise they will split open and bleed during the check up. Very embarrassing.

So I’m about 24 hours out from tearing my nails off down to the quick. It takes a couple weeks for them to heal from that. They’re still pretty sore. I’m recommitting to my nail care though:
1) oiling after washing hands
2) using a small amount of kerasal nightly
3)gently nudging back the living skin once daily/every other day

I’m now a week out from tearing my nails off down to the quick and they are healing nicely. I do have one infected area on my right thumb, but it’s not so painful I have to take Advil any more. I’m continuing the care outlined by the salon life on YouTube; in another week they should be fine.
