How long should it take for the skin around my nails to grow back?

It seems as if the last 4 years of my life have been cursed with the dreadful disease of biting the skin around your nails. I do not make excuses and pardon my french but the skin around my fingertips look like bloody bloody hell! I haven't bitten them for about 4 days, but how long will it take for them to regrow? I want to have nice fingers and shall i say i don't see the difference yet. So how long will it take for the skin to start growing back?

Acne Problems 15 year old girl?

So I have tried a few products over the years.
1. Clean and Clear- Only got rid of blackheads so I stopped using it. (used it for 6 months)
2. Oxy cleansing pads- Makes my face dry but clears some blackheads and some pimples. (used for over two years so far)
And
3.Neutrogena advanced solutions- Clears some pimples up but only was working the first two weeks or so. (used for two years so far)

I have been using the last two products each day for two months. And off and on before the two months for about two years. So both products whether together or not have not been getting my face fully clear. Probably doesn't help that I have been using face make-up for the last like seven years of my life.
Anyway I have looked around at other answers to questions similar to mine but haven't found anything that fits what I have. I think it is time to stop using all together and see what happens or find a better treatment plan.
Thing is, I do not know where to start. I am on a low budget to, so anything above like is going to piss my parents off. I have tried the home remedies and nothing works (normally makes it worse). I have continued using these products even though they aren't working 100% because my parents spend a lot of money on them and I don't want them to go to waste. Plus when I do not use them I get more acne.
And I get more acne when I get my period but I am full of pimples and no period O: haha so any advice or something I can try that will surely not be a waste of time or money?

Why would god make humans suffer through acne?

It's quite possibly one the worst things to live through especially if you have moderate to severe acne. You know what I'm talking about if you have it. You can't live a normal life because when your conscious of the acne on your face and you can't help to think about when your face to face with someone. It makes socializing hard and it can actually make your life pretty depressing. I have taken products to help my moderate acne but it doesn't seem to be consistent. As soon as i notice my face starts to clear up I see another pimple beginning to form. It's like a constant battle, and sometimes I feel like people that don't get acne are so lucky.
But I used to be lucky I guess because I lived 16 years of my life without a pimple on my face. Now im 18 and acne has hurt my confidence at times. On the good days when i don't have acne I feel great and motivated, but as soon as the breakouts come it's a nightmare to say the least. I don't feel like doing ANYTHING and my motivation is out the window. I don't want to talk to anyone face to face because of it so it can get pretty bad.
Does anyone know a GREAT solution that helped their moderate acne? because i can't seem to find one.

Things i've tried-
I wash my face in the morning and night every day with neutrogena facial wash oil free

i put on clean and clear spot treatment 1-2 times a day, I've tried pro-activ as well
I've even taken natural pills and supplements to help with acne
I honestly eat healthy, ESPECIALLY compared to my friends that i only see eating junk food ( they have little to no acne by the way)
This is really starting to affect me please help.

Concerns about the birth control pill…

I'm 19 and I'm about to go on the pill (my appointments in a couple weeks). I was going to do it before i went into my first year of college, but I was really nervous and unsure about it at that time and decided to put it off for a little while, now I'm going into my sophmore year and I feel it's something i need to do. At the same time though, I'm still uncertain about it...

I don't follow any homeopathic regiments, nor do i use any homeopathic treatments of any sort, but I do feel I follow the mentality of those who do. I've always felt weird about putting medicines into my body (such as things like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, etc) and normally avoid it at all costs. Now that I'm going on the pill I feel really weird about putting hormones into my body, which will stop my body from doing something it's supposed to do naturally (even though it's rather convenient that it does stop it) and potentially change my body physically. Do the hormones change your personality in any way? Or your body? Is there anything that might surprise me that happens once I get on the pill?

I have really bad/annoying symptoms when it's that time of the month and I feel like I'm out of commission for two weeks out of the month, and I really don't want to be out of commission for half of my life, as it's already been a problem for 7 or 8 years of my life. I know the pill will help with the irritibality, mood swings, acne, etc, which I am SO looking forward to, cuz I'm generally a very kind hearted person who occasionally lashes out at people (generally my mother, perhaps that's natural, lol) because I can't control my hormones. So basically, i'm saying I want to take the pill, and it's my choice to go on it, I'm just a bit nervous and don't know what to expect, even though both my mom was on it, and my older sister has been on it for some time, just because this time it has to do with MY body.

One other thing is that I know there are different levels of dosages you can get, ones with less hormones and such in them, and i was just wondering if the ones with less hormones are therefore less effective against the side effects of having your period (mood swings, irritability, etc)?

Sorry for all the concerns and questions, I just want to do this right, as it is my body afterall.
