After reading the comic, do you feel like your nails and surrounding skin hurt as well? Don't rush to exit; here are a few "little surprises" to add!

1. In addition to biting your nails and tearing off cuticles, constantly poking at the spaces around the nails or using a toothpick to clean dirt can also damage the skin around the nail perimeter. Keeping nails clean is good, but the technique must be gentle to prevent the desire for cleanliness from turning into self-harm.

Besides bacteria, fungal infections (especially candidiasis) can also cause paronychia, which often manifests as skin around the nail that peels, whitens, and itches, rather than just displaying redness, swelling, and pain. In this case, the use of antibiotic ointments may not be effective; antifungal ointments should be used!

Frequent manicures, the application of nail tips, and using low-quality nail polish can weaken nails and damage the surrounding skin. Nail polish remover and UV lamps are also hidden threats! It is advisable to leave at least a one-month interval between manicures to give your nails some time to "breathe."

There are many online videos about "doing your own manicure," which may seem very relaxing, but the risks are enormous! The tools are not clean, and if used improperly, they can lead to a more serious infection or even damage the nail, preventing it from ever growing properly. It is best to leave this kind of work to professionals.

Remember: nails and skin are always good neighbors; they should not be enemies "with a knife stuck in the flesh." Taking good care of both is essential for every day you walk and grab things.
