So lately, I've been noticing the skin around my nailbeds have been, for lack of a better word, flaking off. Flaking isn't even that good of a word either, because the skin is not dead yet, but it becomes a bit detached on one end, but not the other. They aren't giant chunks of skin, only a couple millimeters long (less than a quarter of an inch), but the thing is, if I don't pull them off, they get caught on my shirt, or things I happen to be brushing against, and if I do pull them off, they bleed because the skin is still live. And regardless of what I do, they're a little painful, kind of feels bruised and sore even though there's no discoloration. Otherwise I seem to be perfectly healthy (well, except the weight issue, but that's almost a given here).
I remember hearing that this sort of thing is somehow nutritionally caused, that I'm lacking something, but I don't know what. Anyone have any ideas?
