If you bite the skin around your fingernails, first clean the area with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection. Apply an antiseptic ointment to promote healing and cover it with a bandage if necessary. To prevent further biting, consider keeping your nails trimmed short and using bitter-tasting nail polish designed to deter nail-biting. If the area becomes red, swollen, or painful, consult a healthcare professional.

How do you heal red ant bites on legs?

use clear fingernail polish (or colored if you have to) and apply it over the bite. the red bugs attach at the surface of the skin and you need to stop their air supply to kill them. if you scratch them until the surface is red and swollen it will only only prolong their life under the skin.
