This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 20 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Melatonin is what makes people sleep

You're thinking of melinoma

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (2 children)

Melinoma is what makes people have cancer
You’re thinking of melancholy

[–] ScrollerBall@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Melancholy is what Hamlet had, I think you mean Melania

[–] sickday@fedia.io 15 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Melania is what turns people orange. You're thinking of mitochondria

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, you're thinking of Mephistopheles

[–] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 12 minutes ago

Mephistopheles is Hell's Messenger, you're thinking of malaria

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.

You're thinking of The Moops.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 40 minutes ago

Guys clearly you’re all thinking of the pasta sauce, Marijuana

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 2 points 1 hour ago

Yore thinking of a feeling of sadness, I think the word you're thinking of is Melania.

Moisturizer

Get a brand called Cetaphil and use it on your hands every day or whenever they dry out.

I've worked in construction and I like working as a mechanic in my own vehicles ..... it means my bare hands get exposed to a lot of dirt, sand, mud, metal, oil and chemicals ... which means I have to wash with lots of soap and chemicals. In the winter it's worse in the dry cold air.

So my hands get dry chapped and even cracked and start bleeding. My skin is so cracked and broken now that I can no longer use my finger print ID on my phone. I've tried resetting it multiple times but a new crack forms and then no longer works again.

For years I put up with it and pretended I was a man that didn't need help .... but I got sick and tired of it and started using moisturizer and I really don't care what anyone says about it.

I still get dry cracked skin but not as often and not as severe.

Pain relief O'Keefes. Stuff is miracles.

Am electrician, I carve my hands up all the time.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I swear by O'Keefes "working hands"

It's one of the few moisturisers that doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy

I prayed for a cuticle

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Mom turned me onto corn husker's oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab'll do ya, doesn't leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.

My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker's oil, GTG.

My Grannie told me to lotion up and wear rubber gloves while sleeping to help my dry hands. I only did once, but I am now adamant about keeping my hands moisturized and covered during the winter work weeks. My job is messy so I don't mind at all.

I will keep that oil in mind if it ever gets out of hand again.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

Your hands are dry. Use moisturizer. Or lather your hands in Vaseline before bed and sleep with cotton gloves. You will have a new set of hands in the morning.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

No.

Moisturize with lotion, especially if you wash them very frequently or have other underlying skin conditions such as pet allergies.

[–] wuzzlewoggle@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Dermatophagia is a bitch.

Get some of that nail polish that prevents you from biting your nails and tastes really sour and put it on your skin instead of your nails. It won't stop you from biting necessarily but it will stop you from unconsciously biting.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This might backfire..I love sour candy

[–] wuzzlewoggle@feddit.org 1 points 1 minute ago

Meant bitter, not sour. There is no way anybody likes that taste.

But even if you do, for me it wasn't 'this is so disgusting I'm not gonna bite anymore' but more my brain snapping out of unconsciously biting as soon as I realized the taste and then you get a brief moment to consciously stop.

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

Not all fingers, usually only 1 or 2. Now my left index and right thumb has these holes

[–] pyr0ball@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Hello Anxiety, my old friend...

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

If your cuticles do this on their own, or you notice pitting on or under your nails, it might be an early sign of psoriasis.

Why did I get in this thread 😨

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I have cracks on the corners of my fingers, beside the nail. They run deep and I have to put Polysporin with lidocaine on them to reduce the throbbing sting. It's due to a combination of biting my nails and working a job that requires constant antibacterial hand-washing. I hate it.
