A finger with a hangnail can be sore for a few days to a week, depending on the severity of the hangnail and how well it's treated. If properly cared for—by keeping the area clean and avoiding further irritation—the pain and soreness should gradually diminish. However, if the soreness persists or worsens, it may be a sign of infection, and seeking medical advice is recommended.

Why is Hangnail called Stepmothers Blessing?

Well, sweetheart, the term "Hangnail" being referred to as a "Stepmother's Blessing" is just an old wives' tale. Some say it's because dealing with a hangnail can be as irritating as a stepmother, while others claim it's because having a stepmother can be a pain in the finger... I mean, neck. Either way, it's just a quirky saying with no real logic behind 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.
