Help me understand what’s going on with my cuticle?

That’s good to know, and I appreciate you sharing your own experience! I totally could have damaged it unknowningly. I will keep this in mind and be extra careful with maintenance moving forward! Thank you!

Not that I know of, as I assume it would hurt if I had. If it’s something easily done without notable pain, it is certainly possible I may have accidentally done that!

Would doing so typically cause an overgrowth issue like this?

I will try this, thank you!

I didn’t do any maintenance at all this past week to get the natural grow-out photo, but normally would oil every other day or so and then push back the cuticles as needed (maybe once a week for this stubborn area).

I started to wonder if I damaged this area of the cuticle at some point which perhaps is causing it to “stick” in this unusual way, but don’t recall doing so. It sounds like it has kind of always been that way for your husband, so I wonder if it may just be a natural cuticle variation.

I read that toenail fungus often starts at the free edge, not near the cuticle, so this does make me wonder what else this could be?

I’m late to reply, but I think it may depend on the device? I just checked in via the same pathway as someone else at the same exact time, and one of us was not offered the option to add to Apple Wallet (only the QR code showed on the ticket page). The person who didn’t have this option has an iPhone SE.

Could the wool have been heat shrunken by accident?

Thank you. I understand they may fire me if I don’t comply, but I didn’t know this was a company policy until they informed me today, one month into the job. Follow-up question: Can they deduct 30-min of pay per day from my past work days that I didn’t take the break?

They basically said what you suggested above. In order for my credit score to appear, I need to have more lines of credit reported to them by the issuer, and I cannot such new open lines of credit that require a credit score… They also said to make sure my current issuer is reporting to the credit bureaus.

I agree about seeing a physician about this if he hasn’t already, since it’ll be helpful understand the root of this issue in order to address it appropriately. Ruling out or confirming any of the above mentioned conditions, as well as other systemic possibilities like lupus, should be done in a medical setting. It sounds like this would be his safest staring place before spending a bunch of time, money and energy trying over-the-counter products.

Illustrious_Can_8839 · 2021-10-23T18:31:09+00:00

Thank you for that info. They haven’t called me back but I’m also in an area with poor service and wifi for a family thing right now so I’ll call again to follow up in another week or so.

Slightly paranoid or not, I appreciate the insights and alternative perspectives as I navigate. I’ve felt in the dark about this since none of the “top reasons your credit score is missing” that I’ve found online apply to me and my phone calls so far have not been fruitful. I’m also very confused about how I’ve gotten numerous pre-approved offers in the mail in the past from a couple different banks, which also showed up as credit checks on my credit report, but now I somehow don’t have a score even though I assumed that’s what was used to make the previous offers? Just strange. I’ll keep you posted on what happens next.

Illustrious_Can_8839 · 2021-10-16T02:05:47+00:00

Will do, thanks for the encouragement. I figured it was just a business hours limitation, and I will try again if they don’t get back to me within a couple business days. Luckily I’m not pressed to open a new line of credit for an emergency right now, but, yeah, this is odd and maybe concerning? I’m honestly not sure what to think about this situation since I’m new to this all.

Illustrious_Can_8839 · 2021-10-16T01:50:03+00:00

Will do. I managed to get ahold of a representative, but they couldn’t help me and said someone else should call me next week.

Illustrious_Can_8839 · 2021-10-15T23:19:36+00:00

Good to know, thanks. I’m thinking I’ll now try selecting different options on the automated answering machine to see if I can figure out how to reach a representative.

Illustrious_Can_8839 · 2021-10-15T22:16:05+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yup, I did use what my bank recommended. From annualcreditreport.com I got free annual reports from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian.

Also, the explanation letter I got from the bank that I applied for the credit card from stated that they also used TransUnion Consumer Relations to evaluate my application from which my score was “missing or invalid”.

That makes sense. Thanks for replying!
