Answers:
Hangnails are typically caused by dry skin, cutting your cuticles, biting your nails, or from previous injuries!. Keep not biting your nails, and try applying some lotion three or four times a day!. You could also clip all your hangnails with nail clippers and put band-aids on them to reduce the chance of infections!. If this doesn't work, try searching for some sort of cream or perhaps try and see a doctor!.

Working with paper is the worst for hangnails, but biting them does not help either!. There are digestive enzymes in your saliva, after all!. I am a nail tech, and I find that after clients have their gel nails put on, their hangnails heal right up!. I think it is because the height of the enhancement forms and obstacle to things hitting that delicate part of the nail area!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
