A member asked:
I cant stop pulling on my hangnails. i assume its a mental thing but it can get bad. i dont do it on purpose but i do it anyways and some of them have taken forever to heal and i have to wear bandaids pretty much 24/7?

Buy a nail clipper and mentally commit to cutting these hangnails, but never pulling them. Start a program of sleeping in cotton gloves after using coconut oil or a lubricating lotion on your hands, and the hangnails should resolve in their own. Good luck
