@welovekeeks: The hyponychium is the area of skin just under the free edge of your fingernail or toenail (the part that extends past the fingertip).     •    It’s what seals the underside of the nail to your fingertip.     •    Acts as a protective barrier to keep dirt, bacteria, and pathogens from getting under the nail.     •    If you push it back or cut into it, it can hurt and increase the risk of infection.     •    Sometimes it thickens if nails are bitten, picked at, or if there’s trauma, fungus, or psoriasis. Basically, it’s the little “seal” under your nail’s free edge that keeps the nail bed safe. #longnails #witchnails #longnailbeds #hyponychium

Looks like it feels like when you apply fake nails with nail glue and it get stuck like this

thisdameslife :

I have this and I push it back like my cuticles.

Pattie Potter 🇦🇬🇻🇮🇻🇨♋️ :

Some people’s hyponychium grows with their nails. All genetics. 🧬

CoCo :

When you have long nails your hyponychium grows out to support the longer nails. If you cut the nails back the hyponychium will retract back to match the current nail length. The body is fascinating

scarlett :

Es por mantener las uñas largas, para reducirlo hay que ir cortando y limando poco a poco, en semanas y con el uso constante de las manos el hiponiquio se va contrayendo.

Natália Cecília :

Eu tambem tenho, nao tao grande assim.Mas se tirar doi horrores

Isntitdarling_96 :

Обычно гипонихий так отрастает когда долго носишь длинные ногти, если после длинных некоторое время носить короткие он вернется в прежнее состояние
