PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you hands are 100% clean before touching yourself. Meaning wrist, palm, fingers and last but not least NAILS!!!!! There is so much dirt and mysterious things that can get trapped under your nails. And please do not be afraid to talk to your Dr. As embarrasing as you may think this is you dont want it to be something else and get worse. Could be just a monir infection that can be treated very quickly and easily. Take care of yourself, get checked out. Good luck :-)
