A youtuber named LunaCognita posted a video about 6 years ago, here it is:

In it he claims one thing and here are the transcripts I found that matches what he says regarding the astronauts hands : https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/a17.eva1post.html. At 124:16:24 he says: "Ohh! You don't have a tub of hot water I can soak my hands in, do you?"
Schmitt later recalls: Schmitt - "I had been aware from the experience of previous crews that you could get rough or damaged finger tips and that your fingernails could lift right off the quick as a result of constantly reaching in the suit and getting a little bit of grabbing from the rubber bladder. Knowing that, I wore some nylon liners and also kept my fingernails clipped down as far as possible to delay the process. But, ultimately, all my nails were lifted off the quick and I can remember seeing blood under Gene's fingernails. There was nothing much else you could do about it; it was just a continuous, traumatic soreness which faded into the background."]
There are many others that show the extent of damage, but the pictures he claims do not show like this one: AP17-72-HC-907
I will post after a few hours some more pictures and transcripts regarding this so we can sort this one out. The thing is also that the amount of time spent in the orbit after the EVA was about 4 days or so and also Eugene Cernan states using lotion to cure it, but I have yet to find that one. Still given the time it would have somewhat healed.
One is this: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/ap17-S72-56081.jpg
where you do see the damage to fingernails, and the conspirator also realizes this but says that the damage is not there in most of the images.
I will comeback again and post some new findings.
