The best way to get rid of it is probably to make it softer before trimming it. You can just stick your foot in some water for about 5 minutes, then cut it

How long will hangnail infection last?

The hangnail infection will only get worse unless you do something positive to counteract it. In the first few days, the area around the hangnail will become very red and will feel very warm when you touch it. The quickest way to heal hangnail infection is to rinse the infected area in warm water with soap, and put pressure on it so blood (and sometimes puss) can be released from the wound. As soon as all the infected blood is released, the hangnail will begin to heal. Typical heal time 3-5 days.

Why is Hangnail called Stepmothers Blessing?

There is no actual single origin as to why hangnails are called "Stepmother's Blessings," but the negative connotation with stepmothers may have lead to it. It has long been a stereotype that stepmothers were "a pain" and were cracks in families, so it may have be linked to the pain of having a nail crack and form a hangnail.
