Hey everyone! I've always gotten bad cuticles that really hurt until I go to the nails salon and they fix them. I don't have time or money though. Right now the are so bad/painful I had to put bandaids on. Does anyone know of anything I can do to painlessly remove them at home myself? THANKS&MUCHLOVE.

Soak them in warm soapy water until you think they're soft, you could also buy some sort of cuticle scrub to rub on them before you cut, then push them back gently with one of those wooden sticks used for pushing cuticles back and removing dirt from under nails, then take cuticle cutters or nail clippers and just clip the pieces that stick up, not the rest of the skin that connects to your finger.

Do this every week or every two weeks to stop them from growing too much and taking over your nail, it will hurt less if you take care of your nails regularly.
