Hangnail

[Sammyjo1207]

Hi has anyone had a hang nail at the side of their finger before, how did you get rid of it, I got tea tree oil yesterday to use.

keep it covered and let it grow out. Salt water rinse if it gets red and sore.

It's enough to make you weep. I agree, put a plaster over it.

amazes me how such a tiny slither of skin can be so painful . . .

[ladybirder]

I let it grow a little then put my hand in hot water until the skin is soft and then I use a pair of good curved nail scissors and cut it off. Works for me. Annoying painful little things they are!

I agree with ladybirds.
