A member asked:
Why are my fingers always getting infected by the cuticles and then my nails end up peeling off from the top of the nail ?

Not sure: Do you pick at your cuticles or bite them as a stress relieving have it?Do you have manicures where they cut your cuticles? If either of these are true i would stop doing it. There is a product called elon which is a good cuticle moisturizer.
