Does the feeling of having one’s nails too long have a name and a place in the classification of sensations? I mean, some people find it uncomfortable to just have theirs “longer than the nail bed” (me too). It’s not like our nails even start to get in the way of doing things, we just have a sensation (kind of an itch), I’d say like “holding” something with the edge of the nail and the nailbed. Is this from touch receptors detecting a different creasing of skin? It goes away when I pay deliberate attention to it.
