@@wendewils4089 OH OK. Thank you. 😊 Some of these videos have words I've never heard of before. Also what's a labatomy? Different video. I've looked it up, but still don't know what it is.
I got MRSA in the form of a finger infection like that. In my case it was a hangnail that was removed, resulting in bleeding allowing the infection to get in.
So in a Russian manicure the file gently lifts up the cuticle and she cuts the dead skin off the top. It is not an open wound and is important to keep the product on the nail which will reinforce the mail plate as it grows out. It would be more dangerous to leave the pushed back dead cuticle as it would dry and become hang nails, or cause lifting.
@@sanchitasarkar7839 exactly. Explaining a type of for profit cosmetic procedure done at a salon, that has a high rate of infection and would be banned if it could be by doctors, doesn’t mean a thing…as it is a problematic method. Explaining it doesn’t rationalize it.
Ohh that must HURT. I had a snap on the side of my nail very low on my nail bed because I hit my finger and I couldn’t wait to get home to remove my nail and replace it. Every time it would touch anything-OUCH!!!
Bro, im a nail biter (from anxiety) and yes it does hurt, but its not as bad when your used to it, and quite frankly this makes me so insecure, because i have no clue what any of the women is talking ab, because my nails have never been treated nor long, always short, im confused and honestly really want my nails to just grow out 😭
I had my nails done one time! It ruined my natural nail. Paper! Paper thin. Took years to fill out normal thick nails, then to grow . Today they are beautiful thick nails. No polish , no shaping, clean . Healthy finger nails. Ty jc.
If this happens to you the first thing I suggest is remove all of your nail polish, acrylic, gel, or false nail because it can harbor more bacteria and to clear the view of the entire area of the nail to see how infected it is. I highly recommend DO NOT GO TO THE NAIL SALON until the infection is cleared up. These infections can go away on their own or you may have to take a few day to a week of antibiotics. If the pressure is too much you can use a sterilized needle to drain the puss or go see a doctor and they will drain it for you. The goal is to keep the area clean and dry and use Neosporin or an antibiotic ointment. In some cases the infection can spread under your nail bed causing the nail to detach and fall off but it will definitely grow back. It can be a bit painful so take an anti inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen. In rare cases the infection could get into your bloodstream and travel to your arm or other areas but again that is RARE. It's highly recommended if you're immunocompromised that you go to your doctor or urgent care so they can prescribe antibiotics because your immune system is weaker than others. If your nail breaks at that level you can repair it like this temporarily until the nail grows out but you should address the infection first because some nail products will irritate the wound and can possibly make the infection worse. NEVER put acrylic or false nails on top of an infected area. It will cause the infection to fester more, prolonging the infection and creating a much greater risk of the infection spreading. Hope this helps.
This is what I was thinking. People prefer to risk their health than take the nails off. Fake nails, it doesn't means for ever nails. And yes, use acrylic on your own nails it's fake nails.
@@amandah2866No it won’t. It’s very rare, most heal on their own with hot water soaks or OTC ointments. As long you protect the infected nail it will heal on its own.
Antibiotics, I had the same thing happen on my foot, it hurt like hell, but the worst part was the taste of the medicine, cuz I’m incapable of swallowing pills
⚠️DONT CUT THE CUTICLE! - it’s actually not the cuticle, it’s the eponychium and it is LIVING SKIN! The cuticle is the dead skin that is plastered to the nail where the lunula is (half moon). If you cut the “cuticle” you are more prone to infection and bleeding. Please ask your nail tech to not cut the “cuticles” whenever you get your nails done.
@@livhuji733 you can trim off the actual cuticle because it’s dead skin. But what nail places usually do is cut off the living skin (eponychium). It might look prettier that way but it’s not in any way healthy, because it’s living skin. If you look at your nail the cuticle is the dead skin that looks really thin on top the nail by the “half moon”. People confuse the eponychium with the cuticle because they look similar and it’s easier to pronounce cuticle. Once again if you look at your finger the eponychium is where your finger nail begins and is there to prevent infections. This is not meant to be cut, but nail techs often push it back to reveal the “half moon” then cut it off which is not okay!
@@livhuji733 as long as your nail tech or yourself take care of your cuticles like adding cuticle oil and gently push it, the dead skin will fall like any other dead cell that we have in our body. I have mega weak nails due to a collagen disorder that I have, and no matter if a mail tech does them or I do them myself, they last me a good 2.5-4 weeks depending of my daily activities.
Tea bags and super glue also work amazingly. You just need to find a way to cement that crack and then leave it alone until it grows out enough that you can cut it
I use a tea bag with base gel, i find it easier as the tea bag absorbs some of the gel and it doesnt set until its cured and i can move it if it not perfect had a few mishaps with sticking fingers and tools with nail glue 😅
Looks good 😊 the way you do the nails and stuff like that so beautiful I like it by the way do you have other people do nails where are you local where you from
I’ve simply used nail glue to repair a tear. My natural nails grow very quickly, due to a genetic condition. I used to keep them long and do them frequently, but it didn’t require a salon to repair the tear. If the sides aren’t filed at an angle so far down, they won’t have a shard split off low enough to cause an infection. Avoiding salons that do this helps avoid infection.
i’ve split my nails at the nail bed plenty as a kid from jamming my finger and the side gets irritated also nail glue traps moisture which can cause infections
Yes paronychia is a fungal infection that goes underneath the nail it's like the nail is broken like you say an infection can go in there which is fungus and it will eat the nail away but the but the new nail will come back sooner or later but then you have to put your finger in hot water salt and then you have to use antibiotic you have to take antibiotics and paronychia is hard to l better it takes time maybe 3-4 months for the new nail to come back so wow I wish you lots of luck and be safe out there 😮
I had that I had to cut all my nails it spread to another finger it started off hurting then itching real bad!!! So I’m giving the acrylic overlays a rest for awhile!!!!soon as I remove the nails the problem healed!
Fiberglass strips are amazing! I forgot I even had them until i cracked my toenail not as far down as this nail but I used the fiberglass just like this and was able to save it til it grew out a bit so I could clip it a little.
I used to bite my nails like crazy when I was a teenager and I would get infections around my cuticles like that. I would just stick a needle in it and squeeze the pus out.
If anyone doesn’t understand what’s going on, she is putting the fiber glass on the nail to temporarily fix it so it doesn’t tear anymore or cause more issues to the infected area. The nail will then grow out a bit longer to a length that is safe to cut the rest of the tip off. So she WILL cut the nail, it’s just too painful and will potentially cause more damage to the nail bed if they cut it at this point due to the tear being in the nail bed and not past the finger tip.
Omg fiberglass! Why haven’t I thought of that?? I even have some I never used bc I was too scared to try. Didn’t think to use it for repairs. I got some weird powder stuff that was all bumpy and didn’t even hold it.
I haven’t used fiberglass since doing nails in cosmetology school. I need to get some now that I’m a long natural nail girl now. And I’ve cracked a few that I could have saved. Saved it easier than what I did anyways.
Infection of any type does not mean that you’re immediately unhygienic or dirty. People can get a UTI by not urinating after sex. You can clean a wound and still get an infection, it only takes one second of exposure to anything unsterilised, from a fingertip to a bedsheet.
@@christinasmellman5078 still fine if you don't inhale the powder. The only issue with fiberglass is direct contact when in fiber form (because the strands stab into the skin and stay there, causing a painful rash). And inhalation can always cause silicosis, but that can also happen by inhaling any rock or sand dust.
I used to bite my nails terribly as a child and had countless paronychia. It's very painful and tender to touch so I can't imagine how painful this was having a full manicure.
Remember: There are hundreds of normal microscopic organisms that inhabit your skin...many of them can cause infection, if they get in the wrong place, but they weren't necessarily trying to! Nails are difficult because they create an environment that is hard to rinse out due to most of the injuries being puncture wounds. These injuries drive that normal flora deep down into your skin, essentially encapsulating the bacteria until the body can work its magic and heal it. Always get pus out of wounds and wash it with lots of clean water. Pus is a mixture of your white blood cells built up from trying to clear the bacteria and the bacteria itself, so getting the debris out always helps the healing process.
I remember hitting my nail on a wall, and my actual nail underneath the fake one cracked in half and starting bleeding, but my fake was acrylic, so I couldn't get it off 😭 it was also totally fine.
Aiyah! That’s why I userubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide whenever I get a cut to make sure it’s sterilized, even if it hurts. If it’s a really big wound (like this one), I’d dilute it the rubbing alcohol by putting water on a cotton swab first, the pour the rubbing alcohol on it. I know they have pain-free or reduced pain wound cleaners, but I have a high pain tolerance and can tolerate wincing for a few seconds.
Actually the best way to clean a wound is just plain soap and water. Using those antiseptic while effective for cleaning objects are actually not beneficial to healing disinfectant. They kill good and bad bacteria and react with blood which slows down clotting. Essentially leaving your wound open longer so if you ever have a big wound please do not use them without a medical professional.
Try a variety of fidget toys. Also crochet or knit. Sometimes gum if it's more oral fixations. I used to be so bad my cuticle bed became deformed on my thumb. They make fidget rings too. If you're poor like me you can always make them as well. There's some tutorials online. Feel better friend❤
Same thing has happened to me, several times actually. My nails grow fairly well, but when they break, it’s always at the quick (very much ouch!).. it’s very frustrating
I used to be a nail biter before I started doing my own nails. I would always get infections in the side of my nails. I always just popped it . Soaked in Epsom salts and then added a antibacterial cream and bandaid. Man oh man did it hurt to hold things for about a week.
Super glue works really well. My nails grow fast and they are hard and brittle. Sometimes they break way down and it’s too painful to cut. So I glue it until it grows out
Yeah, I've had that happen, and it hurts, A LOT.😅I'm glad that you could help her though; most people just have to use a bandage and hope it'll heal on its own.
Trust me , this hurt ..all of us know , who've had their nails done for years like me , have had this happen..it hurts , hurts a lot ❤ good to have great nail techs, who care for us
No!! Take the fake nail off and let your finger heal!! They stuck my nail up, the infection spread right under my nail and I didn't know, when I went to my next appt, it was all Green underneath!! And now I have constant problems with that nail!!!!!
Something similar happened to me 2 weeks ago; I lost my engagement ring, my fiancé found it and when I went to hug him, I bashed my nail on his steering wheel. It cracked in almost the same spot and everything. It just finally got long enough for me to completely cut te broken bit away and while my nail is now short, it's all one piece and doesn't hurt anymore. Anyone that says breaking a nail doesn't hurt doesn't know what they are talking about.
i was always a big nail biter and let me tell you, i have had COUNTLESS infections on the sides of my nails. but now i just use cheap press ons so i can’t bite my nails
I get these all the time, having a weak immune system, very thin and ripping prone nails, as well as ingrown toenails now, and then. It suuuucks, hurts like a ♀️ 🐕. Usually it goes on it's own with regular sanitation but sometimes antibiotics are needed.
I do this all the damn time I know how it is but unfortunately because I work in a factory on a machine and have to cut the broken ones. I'm finally getting them to grow with a new clear coat I found. It makes them so strong
I got this infection and my mom ignored it... I almost lost the tip of my finger because of it. It was so painful and my nail never grew back the same. Wish I got this care!
Honestly every single time I’ve gotten a cut on my fingers, it’s at minimum inflamed, if not gone full blown infection. We do so much constantly that it’s essentially impossible to avoid it. Don’t judge at all lol
One time a lady at the nail salon was filing the side of my nails and she cut the side of my finger open from filing too hard. She then proceeded to glue my cut closed with acrylic glue and continue on. I have yet to go back to any nail salon since and that was at least 8 years ago
I find applying something to my cuticles daily, or even multiple times a day if I have the time and inclination- helps my nails grow as well as helping them to be more flexible, so that even if not super thick, they don’t split as easily if at all. You can use whatever cuticle cream you prefer, but I kept some empty nail polish bottles and washed them out, I filled them with olive oil and it works great to just paint it round my cuticles then rub in. Another thing for natural nails is to use a gentle gritted emery board or file, high grit nail files or emery boards are meant for shaping faux nails only. When you shape your natural nails try to go in one direction only, don’t saw back and forth. They way remember this is only my left hand I file to the left. Right hand to the right. Also one thing I corrected with my shaping recently is not to file too far into the corners near the sidewalls. HTH ☺️ 💅🏼
If you’re concerned about the lamp, then you should be wearing gloves when driving a car with your hands baking in the sun when stretched over the steering wheel. Just buy fingerless UV gloves for the lamp if you’re still concerned.
I actually wasn't that concerned about it until a few of my clients started asking me this question and i did my research and SPF is the solution. But i still wanted to see it from the experts point of view. Is it actually that dangerous?
@@maliboooit's not the same thing. We use this type of lamps in chemistry and biology labs and it's mandatory to not touch the light with our hands and always wear glasses while looking at the results. It's actually more dangerous because of the intensity of this types of lamps. And of course the sun is also dangerous but it's not the point.
My family’s genetics are trash. Our nails are made of paper. Sometimes, if I dare to run my fingers through my hair, my nail snags in the middle and rips entirely off down to the nail bed. No matter how much I filed the edges, nor applied clear polish the result was always the same. I gave up on nail health or having nice nails after all of those times.
Have you tried a glass file? I have the same problem if i use any other file also i avoid filing the sides as much as possible, i go for more of a rounded off square if i go round or almond they dont last long
That happens to me at least once every month, almost always on one or both of my thumbs. Although it usually doesnt get to an infection and the nail breaks all the way off in a few weeks if I don’t bother it too much. My nails are really thin and bendy, so thats probably why they break on the nail bed so often.
I know how she feels to an extent, broke my pinkie nail, and put a bandaid on it for a few days to nearly a week before fully and carefully removing it. There was no infection for me, but it did hurt a lot
Omg I regularly do this 😮 Especially if the nail breaks too far down and I don't want to deal with the sensitivity for the next few days. I put a band-aid on it till It grows out a little bit and I can file it down and it doesn't hurt as bad. Now I don't know how ill handle those situations 😂
My little cousin kicked my hand & bent my natural nail back, bruised the nail bed & caused nail bled. The nail broke about halfway down onto the nail bed. I went got artificial nails done to protect the exposed bed & eventually the nail grew back to normal.
I don't let my nails grow at all, they get trimmed ever few days. I don't let anyone mess with them. This looks SO DAMN PAINFUL Im not even referring to the crack, but her pushing the cuticle up the cutting it... Oh HAIL NO.
This happened to my pinky & oh my gosh it hurt so incredibly bad. I'm immune compromised so of course I didn't get a typical infection, I had to go on antibiotics & get it drained.
This can happen to anyone, at any time. It's essentially a small wound that gets infected. Here are some signs and treatments: Signs you may have an infection: - the area is red and when you press on it, the part occupied by the infection looks white - the area is significantly hotter than the rest of your hand - you feel it pulsing, especially when pressed gently Treatment 1 Dab a disinfectant as close to the wound as possible. Iodine is great, but it will stain. Cover with a waterproof bandaid. Change the bandaid once or twice a day, depending on whether or not you see fluids on the bandaid. Dab disinfectant every time. Treatment 2 Put a small pot of clean water on a low flame. Put your finger in the water. Wait. The water will warm up slowly. It will feel like it's hotter than it actually is (you can check with a healthy finger) and you will get a tightening sensation. It's going to hurt a little bit, not gonna lie. Keep your finger in the warm water as long as you can - the longer, the better. This will kill the bacteria very fast. If your infection is really really bad and widespread, repeat the process 12h later. Generally your infection will be gone after one treatment. Treatment 3 Go to the doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics. It will generally come as a cream or gel. Use according to the doctor's instructions.
If the water is hot enough to kill bacteria, it's hot enough to cause burns. The reason warm or hot compresses work is because they increase blood flow and draw the infection to the surface, not because they can magically kill bacteria cells without killing your healthy cells
When I was a child I somehow got the same kind of infection and instead of telling my mom I decided to make a hole in my finger and "drain" all the puss out... It was one of the most painful things I've ever done to myself. Thankfully tho the infection went away very fast an di wa left with a small wound and nothing more
Just recently had my nail snap and it had a bend so the nail cracked all the way until it met where the nail grows from (Vertically in half if that makes sense) Took me almost a month to grow the nail to safe legth.
My child had this it an it's still healing over a month later. He lost almost the whole nail 🤮🤮 almost his entire finger was a bubble and he lost the skin from tip of his finger to his first knuckle. I never knew it could get so bad.
Omg this is so painful. I had it on my finger and once on my big toe! The toe one was worse and it was on the last day of our vacation and I had run through 3 airports (which is hell on a normal day lol) w/ my toe throbbing in pain at every step. Then it popped and it was like an explosion of nasty-ness 😂 🤮
paronychia is so damn painful.. I pulled a hang nail in college and got paronychia , now no matter how bad its irritating or hanging, I will never pull another one again
I wish my nail tech would have done this instead of cutting my nails off. I spent so much time and money being a loyal customer just to have to start over 😢.
Ouch! Poor woman, I hope she's feeling better.
Sorry, noticed this didn't have a comment so might as well add one 😅
People don't understand that paronychia can happen to anyone, even if you don't go to the nail salon. And it's not contagious...
Whats paronychia?
@@alexiswilkes6136 Google it! I did. That would be easier than them trying to explain.
@@alexiswilkes6136 It is an infection around the nail :)

Seriously, I’m a dude and I’ve slammed my finger in a car door, ripped nails off, stubbed and broke them. Infections are no joke.
I got MRSA in the form of a finger infection like that. In my case it was a hangnail that was removed, resulting in bleeding allowing the infection to get in.
I've gotten cellulitis numerous times this exact way. It's very similar to MRSA in symptoms and appearance.
Cutting cuticles like that also increases the risk of infection and introducing germs under the skin
That's exactly what I was thinking! Don't create more wounds right next to the infected skin.

Pus is a mixture of your white blood cells built up from trying to clear the bacteria and the bacteria itself, so getting the debris out always helps the healing process.
I remember hitting my nail on a wall, and my actual nail underneath the fake one cracked in half and starting bleeding, but my fake was acrylic, so I couldn't get it off 😭 it was also totally fine.
You can get sepsis from doing this! Pretty, long nails are not worth losing part of your finger, your hand or your life
Aiyah! That’s why I userubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide whenever I get a cut to make sure it’s sterilized, even if it hurts. If it’s a really big wound (like this one), I’d dilute it the rubbing alcohol by putting water on a cotton swab first, the pour the rubbing alcohol on it. I know they have pain-free or reduced pain wound cleaners, but I have a high pain tolerance and can tolerate wincing for a few seconds.
Actually the best way to clean a wound is just plain soap and water. Using those antiseptic while effective for cleaning objects are actually not beneficial to healing disinfectant. They kill good and bad bacteria and react with blood which slows down clotting. Essentially leaving your wound open longer so if you ever have a big wound please do not use them without a medical professional.
Rubbing alcohol doesn’t sterilize anything.
@beckarinaa23 it might not sterilize but it does disinfect.
@@kathrynhayes8157would diluted rubbing alcohol still have the same disinfectant properties tho?
I've had this my whole life due to biting and ripping skin off my nails. My fingers hurt 24/7 but I can't afford to fix it.
Try a variety of fidget toys. Also crochet or knit. Sometimes gum if it's more oral fixations.
I used to be so bad my cuticle bed became deformed on my thumb. They make fidget rings too. If you're poor like me you can always make them as well. There's some tutorials online.
Feel better friend❤
Same thing has happened to me, several times actually. My nails grow fairly well, but when they break, it’s always at the quick (very much ouch!).. it’s very frustrating
Never let anyone trim it cut your cuticles please. Just soften and push them back gently. The cuticle is there to protect the nail.
Wow you can do it so you can keep up with your natural nails 👏 👏 👏 I might start trying to keep my naturals more instead of the gels
I used to be a nail biter before I started doing my own nails. I would always get infections in the side of my nails. I always just popped it . Soaked in Epsom salts and then added a antibacterial cream and bandaid. Man oh man did it hurt to hold things for about a week.
Super glue works really well. My nails grow fast and they are hard and brittle. Sometimes they break way down and it’s too painful to cut. So I glue it until it grows out
No one ever tells- does the nail crack actually heal and become normal again or is it cracked forever!?
Yes!! I don't get why some techs sleep on Fibreglass! Its absolutely amazing for fixing breaks. Great fix 💗
Yeah, I've had that happen, and it hurts, A LOT.😅I'm glad that you could help her though; most people just have to use a bandage and hope it'll heal on its own.
😮 Great job! ❤❤
Trust me , this hurt ..all of us know , who've had their nails done for years like me , have had this happen..it hurts , hurts a lot ❤ good to have great nail techs, who care for us
My nails are constantly infected it’s painful but usually clears by itself especially if I drain the puss
No!! Take the fake nail off and let your finger heal!! They stuck my nail up, the infection spread right under my nail and I didn't know, when I went to my next appt, it was all Green underneath!! And now I have constant problems with that nail!!!!!
This is the old school way of fixing nails. When I was a lil girl, they used to use silk and fiberglass sheets.
Something similar happened to me 2 weeks ago; I lost my engagement ring, my fiancé found it and when I went to hug him, I bashed my nail on his steering wheel. It cracked in almost the same spot and everything.
It just finally got long enough for me to completely cut te broken bit away and while my nail is now short, it's all one piece and doesn't hurt anymore.
Anyone that says breaking a nail doesn't hurt doesn't know what they are talking about.
i was always a big nail biter and let me tell you, i have had COUNTLESS infections on the sides of my nails. but now i just use cheap press ons so i can’t bite my nails
I get these all the time, having a weak immune system, very thin and ripping prone nails, as well as ingrown toenails now, and then.
It suuuucks, hurts like a ♀️ 🐕.
Usually it goes on it's own with regular sanitation but sometimes antibiotics are needed.
Those types of breaks down low like that are my worst nightmare. If I break the tip I’m just sad, if I break it low like that I’m in pain for days. 🥴
Been in that situation myself..the pain was horrible 😢
I do this all the damn time I know how it is but unfortunately because I work in a factory on a machine and have to cut the broken ones. I'm finally getting them to grow with a new clear coat I found. It makes them so strong
Even the slightest bang of my fingers and then the edges become really sore and inflamed and then ofc get pus which SUCKS since I’m so clumsy lmao
I just can't go through the cuticle cutting, it gives me shivers down my spine 🥴
I got this infection and my mom ignored it... I almost lost the tip of my finger because of it. It was so painful and my nail never grew back the same. Wish I got this care!
Why does the nail look crooked after taking it down to bare nail? Does it just grow crooked?
Honestly every single time I’ve gotten a cut on my fingers, it’s at minimum inflamed, if not gone full blown infection. We do so much constantly that it’s essentially impossible to avoid it. Don’t judge at all lol
One time a lady at the nail salon was filing the side of my nails and she cut the side of my finger open from filing too hard. She then proceeded to glue my cut closed with acrylic glue and continue on. I have yet to go back to any nail salon since and that was at least 8 years ago
Nail tips for short flimsy nails?
I find applying something to my cuticles daily, or even multiple times a day if I have the time and inclination- helps my nails grow as well as helping them to be more flexible, so that even if not super thick, they don’t split as easily if at all. You can use whatever cuticle cream you prefer, but I kept some empty nail polish bottles and washed them out, I filled them with olive oil and it works great to just paint it round my cuticles then rub in.
Another thing for natural nails is to use a gentle gritted emery board or file, high grit nail
files or emery boards are meant for shaping faux nails only. When you shape your natural nails try to go in one direction only, don’t saw back and forth. They way remember this is only my left hand I file to the left. Right hand to the right.
Also one thing I corrected with my shaping recently is not to file too far into the corners near the sidewalls.
HTH ☺️ 💅🏼
Hello Anastasia i wanted to ask about the UV LED light causing skin cancer what do you think about this topic ?
There is plenty of research. SFP is the solution
Omg just Google it. Wear gloves if u are concerned.. what are you doing? Research or something lol
If you’re concerned about the lamp, then you should be wearing gloves when driving a car with your hands baking in the sun when stretched over the steering wheel. Just buy fingerless UV gloves for the lamp if you’re still concerned.
I actually wasn't that concerned about it until a few of my clients started asking me this question and i did my research and SPF is the solution. But i still wanted to see it from the experts point of view. Is it actually that dangerous?
@@maliboooit's not the same thing. We use this type of lamps in chemistry and biology labs and it's mandatory to not touch the light with our hands and always wear glasses while looking at the results. It's actually more dangerous because of the intensity of this types of lamps. And of course the sun is also dangerous but it's not the point.
I once had an acrylic cut into the middle of my pinky nail, it was so bad that half of the nail fell off and had to grow back
This gave me Simply Nailogical flashbacks.
So was the break in the in the Acrylic or natural nail
My family’s genetics are trash. Our nails are made of paper. Sometimes, if I dare to run my fingers through my hair, my nail snags in the middle and rips entirely off down to the nail bed. No matter how much I filed the edges, nor applied clear polish the result was always the same. I gave up on nail health or having nice nails after all of those times.
Have you tried a glass file?
I have the same problem if i use any other file also i avoid filing the sides as much as possible, i go for more of a rounded off square if i go round or almond they dont last long
That happens to me at least once every month, almost always on one or both of my thumbs. Although it usually doesnt get to an infection and the nail breaks all the way off in a few weeks if I don’t bother it too much. My nails are really thin and bendy, so thats probably why they break on the nail bed so often.
I know how she feels to an extent, broke my pinkie nail, and put a bandaid on it for a few days to nearly a week before fully and carefully removing it. There was no infection for me, but it did hurt a lot
This just happened to me! I had the infection for 4 WEEKS even with oral antibiotics taken- it’s finally gone as of yesterday
From what I read, the cuticles are meant to protect the nail and should not be cut.
This just happened to me, but my nail also bent backwards a few hours after it ripped (I was at work) and MAN it hurt so bad.
i ripped it off when that happened to me. not the infection but the nail and it happeend 2 times on my pinkie. it hurt but the nailbed grew just fine
…what effect would biting/tearing the nail off have
I found if you brake you nail then get a tea bag and cut the tea bag to the length and width of your nail and put it on with clear nail polish xxx
I always try to get my nails done short for this very reason I hope her nail heal,s and that her finger feels better soon
Omg I regularly do this 😮
Especially if the nail breaks too far down and I don't want to deal with the sensitivity for the next few days. I put a band-aid on it till It grows out a little bit and I can file it down and it doesn't hurt as bad. Now I don't know how ill handle those situations 😂
Смотрела это видео сперва на русском , а теперь еще и на английском 😊
И оба автора рассказывают как их клиент сломал ноготь и как умело автор видел его починил 😅
@@tatianaromanova5086 это один и тот же мастер и одно и то же видео, просто озвучили на разных языках
My little cousin kicked my hand & bent my natural nail back, bruised the nail bed & caused nail bled. The nail broke about halfway down onto the nail bed. I went got artificial nails done to protect the exposed bed & eventually the nail grew back to normal.
How are those natural nails? You can see the line where the tip is added.
Is it just me who things that plaster looked lowkey aesthetic
I don't let my nails grow at all, they get trimmed ever few days. I don't let anyone mess with them. This looks SO DAMN PAINFUL Im not even referring to the crack, but her pushing the cuticle up the cutting it... Oh HAIL NO.
How would you suggest fixing nails without gel? Is there even a way?
Nope. just trim it off i guess
I got paronychia last year from a damaged cuticle I think. It hurt like hell and I didnt even get antibiotics for it bruh 😭
This happened to my pinky & oh my gosh it hurt so incredibly bad. I'm immune compromised so of course I didn't get a typical infection, I had to go on antibiotics & get it drained.
I love these stickerssssss
This can happen to anyone, at any time. It's essentially a small wound that gets infected. Here are some signs and treatments:
Signs you may have an infection:
- the area is red and when you press on it, the part occupied by the infection looks white
- the area is significantly hotter than the rest of your hand
- you feel it pulsing, especially when pressed gently
Treatment 1
Dab a disinfectant as close to the wound as possible. Iodine is great, but it will stain. Cover with a waterproof bandaid. Change the bandaid once or twice a day, depending on whether or not you see fluids on the bandaid. Dab disinfectant every time.
Treatment 2
Put a small pot of clean water on a low flame. Put your finger in the water. Wait. The water will warm up slowly. It will feel like it's hotter than it actually is (you can check with a healthy finger) and you will get a tightening sensation. It's going to hurt a little bit, not gonna lie. Keep your finger in the warm water as long as you can - the longer, the better. This will kill the bacteria very fast. If your infection is really really bad and widespread, repeat the process 12h later. Generally your infection will be gone after one treatment.
Treatment 3
Go to the doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics. It will generally come as a cream or gel. Use according to the doctor's instructions.
If the water is hot enough to kill bacteria, it's hot enough to cause burns. The reason warm or hot compresses work is because they increase blood flow and draw the infection to the surface, not because they can magically kill bacteria cells without killing your healthy cells
is fibreglass not super dangerous too?
Natural nails??
When I was a child I somehow got the same kind of infection and instead of telling my mom I decided to make a hole in my finger and "drain" all the puss out... It was one of the most painful things I've ever done to myself. Thankfully tho the infection went away very fast an di wa left with a small wound and nothing more
Just recently had my nail snap and it had a bend so the nail cracked all the way until it met where the nail grows from (Vertically in half if that makes sense)
Took me almost a month to grow the nail to safe legth.
My child had this it an it's still healing over a month later. He lost almost the whole nail 🤮🤮 almost his entire finger was a bubble and he lost the skin from tip of his finger to his first knuckle. I never knew it could get so bad.
That would have hurt, but my nails have to be basically nailbed shorb for sadly reason with the sport I play, I still like to have pretty nails tho
Is there anything out there that will help grow healthier toenails??
Omg this is so painful. I had it on my finger and once on my big toe! The toe one was worse and it was on the last day of our vacation and I had run through 3 airports (which is hell on a normal day lol) w/ my toe throbbing in pain at every step. Then it popped and it was like an explosion of nasty-ness 😂 🤮
paronychia is so damn painful.. I pulled a hang nail in college and got paronychia , now no matter how bad its irritating or hanging, I will never pull another one again
I was grating carrots and caught me index nail so hard it almost ripped it off at the same place , it was bruised and painful for weeks
Ooooh I know that's tender too 😮 great fix! 👍
I wish my nail tech would have done this instead of cutting my nails off. I spent so much time and money being a loyal customer just to have to start over 😢.
What a brilliant idea. My salon suggested cutting all the nails instead of this fix. I did and was very upset
Just casually putting fiberglass on her finger. I hope the customer was wearing a mask because that stuff is super toxic if inhaled 😅
Yeah I wanna get some of that fiberglass stuff that's good for brittle Nails
