Why does the skin peel at the back of the finger, near the nail?

Near the nail, just underneath it, the skin will peel abit, why does that happen?


Also, are there any ways to stop this from happening???Why does the skin peel at the back of the finger, near the nail?
Mine did that and then i realised that I was exposing my fingertips to acids (squeezing lemons, peeling oranges etc.) which was stripping my skin of it's natural oils particularly in this area where the nail base acts as a trap. Hand cream helps along with laying off the citrus, and/or cleaning chemicals (washing up liquid or perfumed soaps)Why does the skin peel at the back of the finger, near the nail?
I dont know i dont have that problem
You need to use an orange stick to push back the cuticles- otherwise as the nail grows the cuticle is stretched and eventually 'pings' back in little ragnails.
problems with your nails may mean there are problems elsewhere. you may be deficient in something. or your diet could trigger nail problems.
yes simple and effective-- all it is - is dry skin





Aply a little dab of baby oil to the area twice a day
my husband has that problem but it dry skin just use like extra strength dry shin lotion it will go away in about 2 or 3 days
