What causes hang nails?

and the skin around my fingernails to peel and bleed?What causes hang nails?
Hello Bella,





The first source below presents the following information:





';Hangnails can be caused by dryness, nail biting, cutting the cuticle, or from an injury. A Hangnail is more unattractive and annoying than a serious problem. When attempting to remove a Hang Nail, should usually be cut using nail scissors or a nail clipper; biting them frequently makes it worse. This may lead to a painful infection called Paronychia.';





So, my first question for you is: are you a nail biter?





I hope this helps you.





Best wishes from The Netherlands,





Martijn.
