Nail condition/any worries?

Hey all,

I used to be a pretty bad nail biter for years, and especially during anxiety from work and university I’d go months without even touching a pair to clippers. I’ve had enough and I’ve taken it to not do this anymore (been good for about 1 month)

Over the past few months I’ve had some medical scares (which came back all good) and now I think I’m in a state of medical anxiety where I’m over analysing everything. So the problem is that I now worry about my nail redness (most likely from previous biting and picking, but also every little slight nail curve etc. - see right thumb which curves down to one side). All these nail issues have been around for as long as I can remember but I’d like piece of mind, and now I’m focussing on the red/shininess, and gee google isn’t good for the mind!

I did have a chest X-ray for something non related and it came back all clear, but my mind keeps playing on clubbing but I don’t think this is.

Thanks all, just someone who is medically stressed out

*NOTE - photos are from 1 month progress, used to be much redder and have more sores
