A member asked:
My friend cuts her nails too short, they bleed slightly and are painful. i want to warn her about the effects of doing this, what are the dangers?

She already knows: It sounds like your friend is now aware of two of the main side effects of cutting your nails too short - Pain and Bleeding. The other significant risk is Infection. Depending on how she cuts them, she can also increase her risk for ingrown nails if they grow back incorrectly.
