Stop eating your cuticles, lol

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

I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.

Such is the nature of my work. Is that what caused this?

If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

Hand lotion and learn how to give yourself a manicure. 5 minutes a week and your hands will thank you.
