Pinpoint dots that grew slightly

Hi guys! Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I found it while googling & I’ve seen similar posts. This has happened for the first time a few months ago, they went away within a week or so. However, this time it seems worse than last time as they didnt grow as much. I decided to track progress. The first pic was 12/16 second pic was the following morning. The last 2 is the current state. (I couldnt get a great pic) Although you can barely see it in the first pic, I knew to take a pic because it comes with this weird, hard to describe feeling, only in that top fingertip area & ending where the first crease is in my finger. The feeling is somewhat like a numby-tingly. It’s mainly more annoying & not very painful except when I run my finger into something, then it hurts so bad. Currently the feeling is not like it was when it first started, when I rub against the bumps now I feel a soreness I guess? Still not really painful. I can’t tell if it’s getting better or not & I should probably go to the doctor but hoping someone can help!

First time poster here. Have a really ugly nail and finger , that’s been like this for at least a year. Started from a nail I bit and then peeled. When it starts to heal I just pick at it and peel the nail growing back. I know I have to stop that, but is there any product I can use to help with this?

Need Advice Considering nail extensions to reduce nail picking. Any advice/tips?

So, I pick both finger and toe nails that i haaardly have any nails. I pick the skin around. Today I went to a parlour and they saw nails - they highly recommended extensions (I think gel?). I'm really new to this world and wondering how it works. They said it lasts 2 months and that'll be enough time for me to drop the habit also. Is there a lot of maintenance? I will get short ones only.
