I’ve had this ongoing problem with a cuticle (I think?)… like a hangnail but never really clears up fully. I showed it to a doctor (in middle of other things) and she just shrugged and said it looked like something (can’t rem) and gave the impression that nothing she could give me. I don’t go to doctor often so haven’t had opportunity to ask again yet.
So as you can see in the pics, there’s a sort of split, with whitish bumps under the nearby skin but also below the affected area. At best, the split heals up, but the bumpy bits still remain. I try to keep it dry, use rubber gloves, because it gets worse if wet for prolonged periods. Because of the split and the bumps it is raised, and catches off things. But covering it makes it damp and worse. There’s no pus or obvious infection. But sore when pressed/catches on something)
So any ideas as to what it might be called or what might get rid of it? It’s being going on for a few years, not always split but never normal. (Excuse non-manicured nails, need to keep them short, rarely wear nail polish etc). Thanks!
