Suggest Remedy For Chronic Thickening Of Skin Under The Nails

The skin around my fingers is problematic. Under one nail there is a thick callous I ve trimmed it back but it keeps growing back. On a pointer finger the callous is growing more on the side of the finger and appears to pull the skin away from the nail. When delicately trimming back these callouses I have seen tiny dark specks like wart seeds. What can I do to get rid of this rough skin.

Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that generally thick skin around nails is a dead skin which needs time to time trimming. You can go for regular manicure and pedicures.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
