Does anyone know the cause of skin peeling under the nail?

A friend of mine's skin under some of the finger nails are peeling very badly. At first it'll peel from the finger tips and gradully it'll go under the finger nail. She had this problem for many years now and the doctors she seen wasn't even sure what was the cause! Can anyone help! Thank you!Does anyone know the cause of skin peeling under the nail?
I am having the same problem and at time the cracking even bleeds. I went to doctor and she told me it was a form of dermatitis and gave me cortisone ointment. In truth, it is not helping. I have tried changing soaps, over the counter fungal meds....several types with no result. If your friend finds out, let me know. I do plan to go to a dermatologist for another opinion.Does anyone know the cause of skin peeling under the nail?
I have this problem too. I think it is from biting your nails. the bacteria from your mouth is transfered in and around the surface of your nail and skin. My guess is she is a nail-biter.

She might have a fungal infection under her nails. If the nails are discoloured and are cracking and peeling too, this might be the case. She might get better results by going to a dermatologist. A dermatologist might take a culture of the skin and determine if there is anything besides skin growing under her nails (like a fungus or something like that).
That sounds like if your friend has a bad case of fungus. Its similar like what you get on your feet. Has she ever rubbed her hands between her foot toes. U know infections like that spread rapidly. Your friend should see a specialist to infections. Good luck 2 your friend.

Can peeling off your nail polish damage your nails?

When I get bored, I peel off my nail polish. Can this damage my finger nails?Can peeling off your nail polish damage your nails?
No... Actually nail polish can damage your nails. It is very important to give yourself a manicure every time you switch nail color. If you dont have time for a manicure, at least use a buffer.





But all in all I love painting my nails... it's my me time away from my family.Can peeling off your nail polish damage your nails?
Yes, it can make your nails transform into candy canes that wind up dissolving your fingertips into liquid high fructose corn syrup which can be used to ward off harmful aardvarks and Anti-Trixie intruders. ;) Balance is essential.

How can I stop my habit off peeling of nail polish!?

Everytime my nails are painted I keep bitting the paint off. How can I stop this?How can I stop my habit off peeling of nail polish!?
OMG! i do that too mainly when am nervous or i cant focus and have alot on my mind.How can I stop my habit off peeling of nail polish!?
Most all of us do that. The only thing I've found to help is remove all the nail polish and buy some of that protein


oil that's good for nails. It feeds your nails and makes them look and feel a lot better.


I also take a capsule of gelatin and silicon every night


before bed, which strengthens the nails.

Hi I was wondering how do you stop finger nail polish from peeling?

Everytime i put on my clear polish, it peels off the next day, ecspecialy when i get in the shower. HELP.Hi I was wondering how do you stop finger nail polish from peeling?
you can always just chip it off before it has a chance to peel.





LOL. That's what my 11 yr old daughter does!



































Or you could just skip showers altogether.
































Just Kidding! Gee! What type of filthy girl do you think I am?Hi I was wondering how do you stop finger nail polish from peeling?
Use sally hanson's ';no chip/break'; top coat. Its in a light pink bottle with a rhinestone on it. You can find it at walmart, or walgreens. It works SO GREAT!
Two things:





1. You use a base coat which will help the polish stick to the nail in the first place and a topcoat that will help it stay.





2. You get a full set on false nails. The nailpolish will go NOWHERE!





Good luck!
Get a better brand of nail polish.


it helps to apply a top coat every other day or so...


but I think it's just the make-up of clear polishes... eventually they all seem to peel off.
Apple the color first then apple some of the clear nail hardner type. Leaves it glossy and helps to keep it from peeling.
if you put on that alcohol stuff in the clear bottle with a cotton ball and then the polish it tends to last longer.
The clear polish you are referring to might be a top coat. A normal color coat should not peel off. A top coat sticks better on top of a color coat than on plain nails.





So you can buy a color coat in pale color or those with slight shimmer will look very pretty. Check out OPI's Princesses Rule or Happy Anniversary. Guarantee no such thing as peeling off!





Another alternative is to buff shine. The shine last abt a week and the best part is no need to wait for them to dry!

How can I keep my nail polish from peeling/chipping?

I work at a small discount department store and I use my hands a lot and throughout the day my nail polish gets chipped or even just dented. So I have to re do some of my nails when I get home. I use a top coat but I was wondering if there was anything else I could do? Maybe a better top coat?


Any advice would be great.How can I keep my nail polish from peeling/chipping?
Go to your local salon and ask them what they would recommend and write down the exact name of the product. Then, unless you're feeling generous since you work at a store yourself, go to the internet to buy it cheaper.How can I keep my nail polish from peeling/chipping?
You can put 2-3 layers of your top coat maybe, use a clear nail polish over the top coat, or use a different kind of top coat/base coat. I recommend Sally Hansen products or Orly.I use a base coat and top coat in 1 by Sally Hansen and it is sold in a rectangular, small golden bottle. It's really great! :)
you should use a silk coat which you put on the bottom and also try some nail hardener and get a long lasting brand or a no chip brand thats what i use and i have had the nail polish on for about a month and with no chips or cracks.
You should start off by applying a base coat, then after you paint your nails, apply a good top coat. OPI top coat is what I use, and it dries pretty quick too.
put a base coat before the nail paint


then the nail paint


and then the top coat





also, try using nail polishes that have ENAMEL
Apply the colour you want, and once that's dry apply a layer of clear nail polish on top of that! :D





Hope it works for you! x
Apply 2 clear base coats, 1 white coat, regular polish, and two clear coats.
your local beauty supply store should nail an anti-chipping top coat. around 10 dollars.
you should put on a top coat every night or every other day to prolong your polish
sally hansen: hard as nails is really good and usually quite cheap too
put a coat of clear nail polish on top

How do I make my nail polish stop peeling?

I've never really had any issues with my nail polish chipping, but it peels like crazy. It comes off in one big whole strip, just like a band-aid! I think its in part because I have to use three coats: one coat of nail growth treatment, then two coats of color. I need the growth treatment, it helps sooooo much, and I know using one thick coat of color is just going to make it peel easier. So is there any way I can make it stop peeling?How do I make my nail polish stop peeling?

Ok..your nails are probably oily and that is what is causing the lifting.


You need to try these couple of things. Prep the nail plate by taking a cotton ball with alcohol and cleaning off nail plate. This removes all oils and depletes the oils which cause lifting.


You need to avoid contact with skin tissue around the nail plate ...because oils seep under the polish and causes lifting.


There is also a skin called a teringium that is sometimes stuck to the nail plate...around the cuticle area....this needs to be loosened and or removed to prevent skins oils from accumulating.


There is a great...fantastic product by CNL called Sticky. When applied as a base coat is sticky...and it adheres the polish to the nail plate better.


Use fresh polish...and store your polish in the refrig...the coolness keeps polish from thickening....


Top coat is another protective coat that can make your polish last a lot longer....


Try these things and see if they resolve the issues you are having.


I hope my answers are useful to you and good luck!!How do I make my nail polish stop peeling?
Sounds like you need to put on a base coat %26amp; a top coat. OPI is a great brand to use, base %26amp; top coat come in the same bottle. It makes my nail polish stay on weeks %26amp; it never peels off. Use the nail growth stuff then put the OPI stuff overtop %26amp; then apply your nail polish. Also try to use a better brand of nail polish, it makes a big difference.
rub nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol on your nails, because it gets rid of any oils on your nail, which make the polish peel.
Try using Sally Hansen clear coat on top once your other polish dries. (I buy it at a drug store or WalMart). Its fairly cheap and it really helps your nails if you continue to use it.
clear on top and good polish, not cheap

If you put on a clear coding after the colored nail polish is dry it won't peel off as fast
Use high quality nail polish and then put a good top coat over it.
dont use the nail growth and use two coats of color, then a thin clear top coat...hope this helps...also sally hanson makes a cuticle pen that puts moisture all around the nail bed and I love it..
use a reallly good top coat over the color.


And dont get cheap nail poilish
