pic quality is not soo good cos its from my phone.

But what should I do about it?

Ive posted before, but no solutions.

Im using a hand moisturiser but no luck.
Any creams that I have to use? Anybody else have this problem?

What about an anti-fungal type cream, have you tried that?

Hey me too!

I searched all over google for a cure, there has to be some sort of medical term for this disorder. I've had it since before I can remember, and all I've noted is the swelling goes down after having a manicure done. Is this a fungal infection? I only suffer it on my hands, not on my feet at all, ever!

BTW: I'd figure lots of people would jump on this topic, this is the only site google search engine refers it to, and I know we're not the only 2 people in the world who suffer from this!!

P.S.S: I bite, and scratch the area from time to time (nervous tick, i guess).
