Hangnail Treatment
What is it?
A hangnail is a small torn piece of skin surrounding the nail on the hands and feet. It’s typically caused by really dry skin, cuts, or other little injuries around the nail. It can also be caused by nail biting.
Home Tips
Use milder soaps on the hands. Try to avoid antibacterial soaps because they can be really drying. Also, wearing gloves when you’re doing housework or handling chemicals or detergents helps. In addition, use hand cream as often as possible. Cuticle oils also helps.
Other tips you can follow at home to reduce hangnails include wearing cotton gloves at night. Gloves helps if you have excessively dry hands. Apply your lotion and then put your gloves on.
Hangnail Treatment
To treat hangnails, consider regular manicures that include a hand and nail massage followed by paraffin to help increase moisture on the hands.
Post care
Exfoliate suing a nail brush. Apply hand lotion, and cuticle oil to keep things moisturized.
