Often times once the cuticle is pushed back it tends to cling to the nail plate and kind of hang there. I usually use a terry towel and rub a little. The rough surface of the towel is good at getting it to detach and much safer than cutting. If you do choose to cut, make sure the skin is dead and hanging.<br />I have seen pros use nippers to cut hanging dead skin. The key is that its dead - if they're cutting live tissue make them stop. <br /><br />For healing I'd suggest Neosporin or similar generic product, and either baby that area when using your hands or wrap it in a band-aid but be sure to give it some air time too. <br />I hope it heals quickly!Jen from xoxoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127026259269782777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-83448394617305869512012-07-06T12:34:34.286-05:002012-07-06T12:34:34.286-05:00Thank you for letting me know about the eponychium...Thank you for letting me know about the eponychium thingy. Whenever I have gotten my nails done professionally I have seen them pushing it and even cutting it a little, so I thought it was ok to do. (Truly I only push not cut) One of my fingers has been hurting when I touch that part and had before from the nail technicians so now to figure out how to get it to heal. I know that you gave the advice, but having to get rid of the cuticle that grows without touching the epon...you know. Thank you again for the great advice.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379344287326332109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-84757910056436632652012-07-06T10:18:01.513-05:002012-07-06T10:18:01.513-05:00I've read about Nfu-Oh on other blogs as well ...I've read about Nfu-Oh on other blogs as well and its definitely on my wishlist to try once I have used up the remover I currently have.<br />Your cuticles and surrounding skin looks very well cared for! For something different, I'd suggest trying a lotion or cream containing hemp oil. Hemp helps skin cells regenerate and is the best oil for skin, next in line is jojoba oil. I believe Sally's has a travel sized hemp lotion and the Body Shop carries some hemp products as well. I like getting small sizes so I can carry them with me and they're good for trying out something new without investing too much.<br />An alpha hydroxy lotion like amlactin will help keep skin fresh looking, perhaps alternate it with your usual moisturizer. Best of luck on your hunt, and let me know what you find to work best for you!Jen from xoxoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127026259269782777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-87220753977006647302012-07-05T20:21:29.740-05:002012-07-05T20:21:29.740-05:00I really like nfu-oh's cuticle remover.

Plus, I saw it recommended on so many blogs I had to try it for myself. I'm still looking for a good cuticle cream to keep my fingers moisturized. This post is very informative!
