i could almost guess that you work with paper or someother miteral that dries your skin,the best way to heal>aply a good lotion to your hands and put gloves on ,wear then at night,those hands should start to heal just in a few days.

if you pinch the back of your hand the skin should quickly return to its original shape.  If it returns slow, you're dehydrated.  Also if your urine is a dark, almost brown, yellow.  Recommendations:  1. Drink water.  2.  Drink water.\n3. Drink water.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

As a teenager ( a couple of years ago! ) I smashed my finger in the car door.  It bled terribly.  My uncle took a sterilized knife and bore a small hole into the nail to relieve the pressure.  It remained horribly purple for weeks and the nail came off.  Another nail replaced it, although it did take a while.

Start by washing your hands with salted water to clean the cuts and then rub on a good cream which is recommended for minor burns. This sort of cream works best for healing wounds.

im assuming you want it to be better faster because you are involved in an extra curricular activity or sport.  correct?  make sure you wrap it tightly to relieve the pressure.  instead of taking showers, try a hot bath with some bath salts.  when you sleep or sit down, keep it elevated.  ice it constantly.  before going to sleep, move it around and stretch and massage it.  when you think it feels better don't just start running and jumping on it, keep it wrapped till your 100% certain it's healed, if you don't there is a high possibility it will be reinjured again.  Trust me, I know it's tough but it will get better.  I've been a professional dancer and teacher for many years now and I have survived a lot of different injuries.

i broke my toe,twice and yes same thing both times..it happens..you probably broke it too. there is nothing the dr. can do, 'cept unless you are in severe pain, meds..but i suggest asprin...no treatment is necessary unless it's and open wound..but i'd still just keep it clean..and it takes anywhere from 6 mos. to a year...to grow back.

Put ice on it, stabilizes it using a splint or taping it to the finger next to it, don't play through the pain, I would suggest giving it a few days rest to see if it improves.  If it's really painful, you should consider going to a doctor for x-rays to make sure it isn't broken.

Try a doctor, the nail salon will just "solve the problem" by putting some nail polish on it or something

You can buy some vitamin E gel caps. Break 1 open every morning & evening & rub it into the bite. This should help.\nAlso swallow 1 of the gel caps daily until healed.

First off, if any of part of your body hurts, you should tell your mom or dad.\nThen, if it hurts really bad, you should go to the doctor. All you have to do is follow the directions the doctor says. For example, if he or she tell you that you can't play in a sport for 5 weeks. Ok then if you want you can e-mail me if it is getting better. As home remedies, you can pull your toe a little at a time maybe 5-7 times a week.\n\n                                                  A normal dude, \n                                                               bballfreak61296

If you pop it, it could get infected.  If you type a lot just put a finger tip bandage on it and in a couple days it should shrink away on its own.  a better idea would be to wear the bandage during the day and then when you go to sleep take it off to let it air out.\nHope this helps!
