Fingernail help

My wife has taken up learning guitar out of covid-19 boredom. but the issue she has is the squishy bit under the nail is high on both hands meaning she can't get her fingernails short enough to fret properly.


I have no idea why this happens and also how to help it. has anyone else had or know of someone with a similar issue and know the reason why and also a way to help it

    It is not something I know  much about but it sounds like an abnormality . All the fingernails  I have  seen can be cut  below the finger tip or to the same level. There is  a condition called nail  clubbing . It is caused by low blood oxygen. I would suggest you  look up some photos, to see if it looks the same , before I mentioned it to your  wife. It is something you can live with and take years to develop, so you should look for early  stages of the problem .    I'm probably wrong anyway.
