Hangnails are medically known as reverse peeling. Children's skin is delicate and prone to hangnails. Hangnails in children are mostly caused by nail biting or friction from rough objects. If hangnails appear, do not pull them off directly with your hands, but use nail clippers to cut them off. In addition, hangnails may also be caused by unbalanced nutrition and lack of vitamins that lead to dry skin. It is recommended to add sufficient warm boiled water; if it is in the dry season, apply non-irritating, oil-containing skin care cream to the baby's hands. Pay attention to hand hygiene to avoid paronychia caused by hangnails. Also, do not let your baby touch toys with sharp edges or that are too hard. If your baby has hangnails for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to rule out vitamin deficiency.

Simple hangnails are not caused by vitamin deficiency

Vitamin deficiency can indeed cause a series of skin problems. For example, vitamin A deficiency can lead to excessive keratinization of hair follicles, vitamin B deficiency can lead to seborrheic dermatitis and chapped lips, and vitamin C deficiency can lead to poor wound healing and easy cracking.

However, as long as you eat normally, vitamin deficiency diseases generally will not occur. Vitamin deficiency is often accompanied by other symptoms. If it is just simple hangnails, it is not caused by vitamin deficiency.
