Why Does The Side Of My Fingernail Hurt

Did you ever have that hurt feeling on the side of your fingernail? Or worse, when you tried to move your nail but it wouldn’t budge? These are all common problems caused by climbing nails. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to stop this from happening. First, make sure your nails are trimmed evenly and regularly. Next, use a nail file or a sharp knife to clean the sides of your nails. Finally, apply pressure to the area where the nail is hurt and wait until the pain goes away.

Why does the side of my fingernail hurt

The pain in your fingernail often indicates that there is something wrong with the nail bed or nail itself. If you are experiencing pain while filing your nails, they may be too short or too thick. You may also be experiencing discomfort when trying to move them because your nails are climbing up too quickly and becoming jammed in between two objects like a wall or chair leg. If you are experiencing intense pain while trying to move your fingernails, they may need some help from a doctor as they could be trapped in the nail file or other objects.

How Can I Stop My Nails From Hurting?

  1. Make sure you have your nails trimmed regularly.
  2. If the pain is severe, go to the doctor.
  3. You can also try this trick: press on the side of your fingernail and hold for 10 seconds or so; then move to the other side and repeat. This should help relieve some of the pain.
  4. Another trick is to soak your nails in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes each day for 2-3 weeks until they grow out again (this works with both fingernails and toenails). I would do it at night because it will keep you from scratching yourself while you sleep!
  5. Another trick is to cut a slit in the side of your nail (like a paperclip) and place something under it like a band-aid or an elastic bandage; this will stop them from growing too far into your skin, which can cause more problems down the road.

It’s Important To Keep My Nails Trimmed Evenly And Regularly

Trim your nails regularly.

Because you have to file the sides of your nails, they grow faster than they should. This can cause them to become too long. Make sure you trim them every time you get a manicure or pedicure. You can also use a nail file or a sharp knife to keep the sides of your nails clean and smooth. Next, apply pressure to the area where the nail is hurt and wait until the pain goes away

Clean my nails regularly with a nail file or sharp knife

When your nails are too long, they can become dirty and rough. When this happens, it’s harder for them to move properly because there’s more friction from dirt on their sides. If you’re having trouble moving your nails, try cleaning them with a nail file or sharp knife that’s slightly smaller than your nail (so it doesn’t make contact with the side). Apply pressure slowly so that it doesn’t hurt as much and then wait until the pain goes away.

Apply pressure to the area where my nails hurt

If your nails are hurting, try applying pressure to the area where they’re hurting. This will help them move more easily and make the pain go away faster. If you’re trying to move your nails, make sure you do it slowly and evenly (one movement at a time). And if the pain is severe, go to the hospital

Go to a doctor if my nails hurt for more than a few days

If you have pain that doesn’t go away after 2 or 3 days, see your doctor. He or she can tell you what’s wrong and how they can fix it.

Use A Nail File Or A Sharp Knife To Clean The Sides Of My Nails

  • Biting the sides of your nails can cause them to curve inward. This can cause them to get caught in the side of a nail file or a sharp knife.
  • Over-exfoliating your skin can also cause nails to curve inward, which causes them to get caught in the side of a nail file or a sharp knife.
  • The lower part of your nail bed is called the coffin bone and is covered by skin and muscle tissue. When you press down on this area, it’s like pressing down on your finger bones. If you press down too hard, you can actually break these bones and cause pain in your fingers and nails.
  • If you don’t trim your nails regularly, they’ll become too long and may try to grow out from under the surface of your skin (called “undergrowth”).
  • If too much pressure is put on the sides of your fingernails when you’re trying to move them or when they’re climbing, they can get caught in the side of a nail file or a sharp knife.

Apply Pressure To The Area Where The Nail Is Hurt

  1. If you have a lot of overgrowths, and your nails are too long, you can get them trimmed up to a reasonable length. This will help to decrease the amount of pressure that’s put on the sides of your fingernails when you’re trying to move them.
  2. If you don’t trim your nails regularly and they’re too long, the pressure that’s put on the sides of your nails when you try to move them can cause them to get stuck in the side of a nail file or sharp knife. If this happens, put pressure on the area where the nail is hurt and wait until it goes away.
  3. If you have overgrowth and your nails are too long, they can become caught in the side of a nail file or a sharp knife. If this happens, apply pressure to the area where the nail is hurt and wait until it goes away.

The Following Are Some Tips For Avoiding And Fixing Problems With Your Fingernails:

  • Trim your fingernails regularly. If you don’t, your fingernails will grow out from under the surface of your skin (called “undergrowth”). You can also use a special tool called a cuticle pusher to push back undergrowth and help keep it from growing out again.
  • Use scissors or another cutting tool to trim only the tip of each finger instead of cutting all of them at once. This helps prevent damage to the tip of each finger because you’re not putting as much pressure on it when you cut them all at once.
  • Don’t press down on one fingernail at a time. Instead, apply pressure evenly to each nail so that they all move in unison.
  • Don’t jerk or yank your fingernails when you’re trying to move them. Go slowly and evenly, one movement at a time.
  • If your fingernails are too long, trim them down to a reasonable length instead of letting them grow out from under the surface of your skin (called “undergrowth”). This will help to decrease the amount of pressure that’s put on the sides of your fingernails when you’re trying to move them.
  • If you have a lot of overgrowths (nails that are too long), you can get them trimmed up to a reasonable length. If you have your nails trimmed regularly, and your nails are not too long, don’t worry about this problem.
  • Don’t press down on one fingernail at a time. Instead, apply pressure evenly to each nail so that they all move in unison.
  • Don’t jerk or yank your fingernails when you’re trying to move them. Go slowly and evenly, one movement at a time.

Conclusion

Keep your nails trimmed evenly and regularly, use a nail file or sharp knife to clean the sides of your nails, and apply pressure to the area where the nail is hurt to stop it from hurting.
