Are there health problems if you cut fingernails too short?

I started treating myself to pedicures and manicures lately... and learned you should not let the manicurist clip your CUTICLES, as these are a natural defense against infection under your fingernail. The young ladie's answer about diabetics is also correct.Are there health problems if you cut fingernails too short?
i hope not! i always keep my fingernails really short.Are there health problems if you cut fingernails too short?
Yes. you can't pop zits and they can become sores and get infected.Then you could get staff infection and die.So PLEASE don't cut your nails to short.
I don't know of ';health problems'; specifically, but if you do cut them TOO short, they will bleed like crazy and be quite sore for a few days! It would be like any open cut or wound anywhere on your body, it's always open for infection.
The only risk would be infection or if you are a Diabetic it can cause you problems if you cut your actual finger.
no but there r if u keep them too long
they hurt
if you cut the skin underneath the nail it's possible to get infection. -But just having short nail - no. My brother keeps his very short.
No, thats a wives tale. The most damage you will do is uncover your nail beds and then they could get infected or something, but I am sure its not like you are cutting the whole nail off.
THE ONLY HEALTH PROBLEM IS PAIN
no...
not really, it predisposes you to infeccions by bacteria and fungus. you dont want a fungus!!!!!! the nail changes colors and it falls out
not rele unless you cut your skin or something! idk
no, no problems health wise, but take care not to cut the skin in the process, also, ensure it is done correctly so you do not end up with ingrown nail ands, very painful.
umm i hope there is none... my fingernails are kept short.. omg! im a diabetic.. are those things really tru?
Short fingernails are fine. Just don't cut them so short they bleed or cut the cuticles too deep. It may increase the risk of infection with a break in the skin.
I keep my fingernails short but not that short that will make my nails to be ingrown. That is the possible health problem you may encounter and it really hurts. Also, it can affect you appearance when it comes to nails.
No, unless you cut them till your finger bleeds, then bacteria can cause an infection on your fingers. You wouldn't want that. So be careful.
