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.
