What Are Hangnails?
There is no body part which is deprived of problems. Nails are small but there are many problems related to them. Hangnail is one of the nail problems which is very much painful.
It occurs mainly in women but anyone who leaves the hands in water for long or bites the nails, suffer from this problem.
In this situation the skin around the nails is excessive and detaches from the nails partly. It pains and looks ugly too. It occurs when the skin around the nails which is called cuticle becomes dry. One should never pull the skin as it worsens the problem and causes pain.
Since hangnail problem occurs due to dryness you can get rid of it by keeping the skin well moisturized. Those who bite nails also get this problem. Soaking the nail in oil mixed water on regular basis would also not let the hangnail occur.
You can cut the hangnail. But before cutting soak it in water with oil added to it. By this you would make the hangnail soft by which it would cut easily and do not pain. If you cut it as it is, it could cause bleeding and further turn into infection. After you have trimmed it apply some antiseptic cream and bandage it.
Always try to prevent your hands from water. If your job is such then wear some gloves and then work. Protect your hands from excess of eater and chemicals.
The ingrown toe nail is also one kind of hangnail. It occurs when you do not trim your toe nail properly. Either you cut them too much or too less. When you cut it wrongly then the nail starts growing inside the toe and don’t come out. When the nail grows inside it causes pain whenever touch that area or something touches there.
