Why do people get hangnails?

Question

I had a hangnail a few days ago, and I was just wondering . . . Why do people get hangnails? Also, I'm the only one of my friends and I who seem to get hangnails.

Answer 1

lack of essential fatty acids can cause dryness of the skin, leading to hangnails. Take Omega 3 vitamin supplements three times daily. Massage a hand cream into the cuticle Area every night before bedtime this will reduce hangnails.
