HangnailIllustration copyright 2000 by Nucleus Communications,
Inc. All rights reserved. http://www.nucleusinc.com A hangnail is a strip of skin that separates from the side of the
cuticle. Trim the skin of the hangnail with a pair of clean scissors. Do not
bite or pull at a hangnail, because the skin may tear. A torn hangnail may become
tender and swollen, and infection may develop. ByHealthwise Staff
