I try to shower before cutting my nails with nail scissors. I makes it much less painful and gives a more even cut.

I keep my nails as short as possible. I have to cut them every two weeks or I cut my body to shreds with them whenever my skin itches (often).

Typing also becomes unbearable for me with long nails.

I can not wear nail polish. It makes my nails dissolve and it can take months for them to grow back.

I rarely will use lotion. I hate that greasy burning feeling. At least I have a lotion that no longer causes a rash when I use it.
