👉 Hangnails are a type of nail that is characterized by a series of ridges or bumps on the surface of the nail, commonly found in the nails of the fingers and toes. These nicks can be rough or smooth, depending on their size and location. Hangnails can occur due to various factors such as trauma, infections, or simply because the nail bed is thin and prone to scratching or stretching. They are often associated with conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and allergies
