Halophagia Craving for salt.salt eating Hang nails A hangnail occurs when the cuticle around your nail grows out onto the nail plate," those annoying little triangular splits of skin around the fingernails are nothing more than dead skin. The skin in that area, which does not contain a good supply of oil to begin with, simply dries out. Who gets them? They're particularly common among women who have their hands in water a lot or who bite their nails. Don't bite hangnails "soaking in an oil-and-water solution if you're having a lot of problems with hangnails, rub an emollient cream or ointment on the affected finger at bedtime and wrap it in a piece of plastic wrap. Secure the end with a bit of tape. The plastic will keep the moisture in overnight if you get a hangnail, clip it short and clip it early," before you clip a hangnail, soak it in a little water or a water and oil solution to soften it. A lot of people make the mistake of clipping a hangnail when it's still hard and end up ripping the skin more."
