So, I've had this problem for quite a while now but it just seems to be getting worse.
It's really really tough and hard yellowish skin around my fingernails (and on my thumb) that just doesn't seem to want to go.
I believe that this has happened because I spent a year or so biting the skin around these specific nails and I think the cuticles or whatever are quite badly damaged.
I have a doctors appointment in a few days but I thought I'd come to this forum just to see if anyone else was having this problem.
Whenever I use a pumice stone it'll just come back within a few days.
I have taken a few photos, I have moisturised my hands pre-photo using E45 cream and that's what the white stuff is on my hands. This is the best they look, they look a LOT worse when I haven't moisturised.

The photographs above are of the dead yellow skin with the bottom photograph being my left thumb, the photo below is my right thumb which I think may be a wart due to the position and size of it.

This is really making me self-concious at public occasions, any help would be extremely helpful.
