And it’s rare to have hangnails on your toes, though, it does happen from time to time. “A hangnail is really short,” says Dr. Vyas. “It’s kind of stiff and it arises from the side of your nail bed.” Hangnails can be caused by dry air, using alcohol-based  hand sanitizers  (which we still need to use!) and constant hand washing (which we also still need to do!). Those with a habit of picking or biting around their nails are likely to get hangnails. Swimming in a chlorinated pool can also cause your skin to dry out and lead to hangnails.
