Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
Hangnails can be painful and bothersome, but they usually heal on their own. To speed up the healing process, experts recommend keeping the area clean and moisturized, avoiding picking or tearing at the hangnail, and using over-the-counter antibiotic ointment if it becomes infected. Preventing hangnails involves keeping the skin around the nails well-moisturized and avoiding activities that can cause trauma to the cuticles.
