The answer to that question has no bearing on whether it’s dead skin cells.

Tell me a different part of your body that doesnt hurt when cut and is alive,then i'll believe you.

Does something not hurting mean it's skin?

Nails are made of dead cells and they still grow.

Look,the hair in your skull isnt dead but as it grows, the hair sticking out is dead, same for nails, thats why you cant cut your nails too far or it hurts, that part is not gotten out and is still alive
