Nail pains along with hang nails from speedcubing

[Soren333]

So I keep getting hang nails in my thumb and index finger nails from speedcubing.

I get slight pains on the side of the nail and I get frequent hang nails. This is from using the thumb to do R turns and index finger to do U turns.

Anyone else get this too? And how may I prevent it?

They get used to it. Keep your nails short. If you cut them too short super glue the tip. I'm serious, I cut mine way too short before my last comp by accident and got horrible times before it. I super glued the tips on the way there, set a comp PB average and single.

So my nails will naturally adapt to it?
