Hey me too!
I searched all over google for a cure, there has to be some sort of medical term for this disorder. I've had it since before I can remember, and all I've noted is the swelling goes down after having a manicure done. Is this a fungal infection? I only suffer it on my hands, not on my feet at all, ever!

BTW: I'd figure lots of people would jump on this topic, this is the only site google search engine refers it to, and I know we're not the only 2 people in the world who suffer from this!!

P.S.S: I bite, and scratch the area from time to time (nervous tick, i guess).
